Spring-Back Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel Wire

This wire bounces back after bending. Often used to construct springs and wire rope, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.

PTFE-coated wire has a slippery surface, so it’s especially useful as a fish wire when navigating through confined spaces.
