i definitely like it better than smallbear wire.

Good enough for me.  I'm down to try something new.

I have not tried it but your praise is reason enough for me to try it. I'm running out of regular wire anyways and if it helps to get the order running, why not?

I always mess up with stranded wire. Usually trying to figure out what I did wrong moving the board around and the stranded stuff starts coming apart. Now if I was a better builder maybe I would think it's the cats meow. I have some and it is good, just would rather not use stranded.

I like it because It flexes like stranded but the strands stay together like solid.  No fraying.  It's the best of both worlds.  It is Especially useful when threading it through pads in a PCB.  If you haven't tried it, you will like it a lot. Beginner and experienced builders alike will benefit from it and notice an immediate difference i think.

Solid is easy to work with but does have a tendency to break after too much flexing.

I have used it and it is great. If you like stranded pre bonded is the only way to go. I have a bunch of Barry's wire and its great.

I really like it. I bought a lifetime supply of wore from chromosphere or I'd buy more. I still have quite a bit of Barry's hookup already also.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

This stuff is awesome.  Everytime it comes up for sale I get 20' of each color.  Holds me till the next sale.

Barry @ GPCB needs another 10% to submit the order. If you want in on the $1.69/10ft now is the time.

yeah it is really great to work with.  as someone esle also mentioned, i do wish it was slightly thicker, but even still it stands out imho.
