Fermerry 18 AWG Stranded Wire Spool 10ft Each 6 Colors Flexible 18 Gauge Silicone Hook up Wire Kit Electrical Tinned Copper Wire

As a professional technician and home electronics hobbyist, I purchased this wire to make some alligator-clip leads. Results are excellent, far better than the pre-made test leads that can be had at any reasonable price. I ordered the 18-gauge variety, for a combination of current-carrying capacity and flexibility that suits my needs. The silicone jacket of this wire is flexible and supple. It strips easily and does not melt at normal soldering temperatures, I was able to solder alligator clips to it with the jacket crimped, and there was no notable melting or deforming of the jacket. It remains flexible at sub-zero temperatures, unlike most of the common vinyl jacketed wires which rapidly become useless in the cold. The high strand count makes for a very flexible wire, while minimizing breakage due to normal wear and tear, and also helping to some extent to reduce inductive and skin effects at higher frequencies. As professionals know, high strand count is the standard in pro-grade test lead wires found on quality test gear. It's probably best to use a little supplemental flux when soldering the thicker gauges of wire, it will make the process go much more smoothly with less heat, and help the solder to penetrate deeply into the many strands. I'd also recommend twisting and tinning the end if you plan to use it with screw terminals, since fine-stranded wire can be a bit of a mess in that circumstance. The soft silicone jacket may not be suitable for applications where resistance to mechanical abuse is required, as it is somewhat less resistant to slicing or chafing than plastic/vinyl jackets. The product was shipped very quickly and packaged well, and included some color coded heat-shrink tubing and zip ties, which I won't use for my current project but will add to my parts bin.

Good product for the money and and arrived in a timely manner

Used this wire to wire the busboard to the powersupply for a modular syntheizer. This wire was fantastic. The strands twisted together perfectly and the stands did not break. The wire tinned nicely. The wire is VERY flexable which made things alot easier -- don't have to worry strands breaking so easily. This was the first time I used a silcone insulated wire -- it was great. It did not melt and shrivel up when accidently touched with the soldering iron. Also the insulator strips nice and easy with miniumal pressure so there's no chance of nicking the stands by accident. It is a bit expensive though. $12.26 for 30ft of wire. That's about $2.44/ft which is a bit pricey in my oppinion but it is a very good wire.

These packs work perfect for small projects, solder easily and are great for less than 14V systems.

good wires

Better than expected! Handy and I like that you can use the box as a dispenser. Good variety of colors. Easy to strip. Perfect size for my electronics projects.

I don’t recommend this wire for automotive use, like tail light low-voltage wiring. The silicone coating is too soft and the wire feels thinner than expected for 18 AWG, making it less durable and prone to bending or damage over time. It might work for light hobby projects, but not for applications where reliability matters.

been using this for a few electronics projects and honestly it is some of the nicest wire ive worked with at this price point. the silicone coating is super flexible so it doesnt crack or get stiff when you bend it a lot which is a huge plus. having all six colors in the pack makes organizing everything so much easier. 25 feet per color is more than enough to last a while. definitely buying again.

Buen producto cumple cabalmente con las expectativas, lo recomiendo.

Ich bin mit den Kabel zufrieden... flexibel und weiche Ummantelung. Ich habe damit LED Streifen verlötet. Das ging ganz problemlos.

Produits utile et conforme à mes attentes

I picked up the Fermerry 18 AWG stranded wire kit (25 ft each, 6 colors), and it’s been fantastic for my DIY and electronics projects. The silicone insulation is the real star here—it’s incredibly flexible and easy to route, even in tight spaces. No fighting stiff wire or worrying about it holding weird bends. The stranded 18 gauge wire feels durable and handles soldering really well. It tins nicely and doesn’t fray excessively, which makes clean connections so much easier. I’ve used it for small power projects, LED setups, and general bench work, and it’s been reliable every time. Having six different colors is super convenient for organizing circuits and keeping everything clearly labeled without extra tape or markers. The 25 ft per spool is also a generous amount—you’re not constantly running out mid-project. Overall, this kit is a great value if you want flexible, high-quality hookup wire for hobby electronics or light automotive work. I’d definitely buy it again.

Very easy soldering...
