    Spool

    Able to handle high melting points and conduct heat and electricity, this 99.95% pure molybdenum wire is often used in lights to create a support for filaments. It resists oxidation and won’t corrode. Molybdenum is better at conducting heat and electricity than tantalum and platinum, which also have high melting points. It is not, however, as corrosion resistant.

    7 × 19 Strand Core

    Wire Rope

    Wind this wire rope onto a winch or drum to pull and tow vehicles, trailers, and more. It contains more than twice as many individual wires as standard wire rope to bend easily without wear. All rope is manufactured in the U.S.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—With solid stainless steel construction, this wire rope has no plating that could wear away. It resists rust, but it won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Wire Rope Construction—Strand cores are more crush and impact-resistant than fiber cores, but fiber core ropes bend more easily and absorb shock.

    Extra-Flexible Low-Stretch Coated Wire Rope

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Rope. Extra-Flexible Low-Stretch Coated Wire Rope.
    A flexible option that maintains precise tension. This wire rope is stretched out during manufacturing so it won't elongate further under load. It also has more than twice as many individual wires as standard options to bend easily around winches and drums. Use it around small pulleys and in cable-driven systems where extra stretch could affect how they move. The plastic coating protects the inner wires and keeps them from scratching nearby objects.

    Undersized Hardened Multipurpose M2 High-Speed Tool Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Undersized Hardened Multipurpose M2 High-Speed Tool Steel Rods.
    These rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own drill bits. They're hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. M2 tool steel offers a nice balance of wear resistance and machinability. It has a high molybdenum content, which allows it to maintain sharp cutting edges even at elevated temperatures.

    1 × 7 Strand Core

    Support utility poles, scaffolding, and masts with our most rigid wire rope. Formed with fewer and thicker wires than other rope, it won't bend easily, keeping fixtures upright and stable under tension.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—With solid stainless steel construction, this wire rope has no plating that could wear away. It resists rust, but it won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Wire Rope Construction—Strand core rope is crush and impact-resistant.
    Preformed—With each wire shaped into a spiral before being twisted onto the rope, they maintain their shape when cut. This keeps them from unraveling or poking equipment and users.
