Iron wire usage instructions:
Start by wearing proper protective gloves, since metal wire can be sharp. Pull the wire carefully from the reel, and cut it to the desired length with side cutters. Bend the wire by hand or with pliers depending on your fastening needs. The hot-dip galvanized surface doesn't need extra protection, but it's a good idea to check regularly that mechanical stress hasn't damaged the coating.
Store the iron wire in a dry, protected place on its reel so it doesn't bend or break. After use, tie any leftover wire back onto the reel.

How to choose the right iron wire:
When picking iron wire, consider these factors:

Diameter and tensile strength: Thicker wire is stronger but stiffer. Thinner wire is easier to work with but only suits lighter fastenings.

Surface treatment: Hot-dip galvanized wire is great for outdoor and damp areas. Bare steel wire is best kept for indoor use only.

Purpose: Fastenings, ties, and hangings need different kinds of wire – think about flexibility, durability, and weather resistance.

Reel weight/amount: Smaller packages are enough for occasional use, while bigger reels suit ongoing work or job sites.
