Mammoth Wire

[claytushaywood]

I bought some of their precut wire for pedal building and it is absolutely the worst quality wire I have ever used- bar none!  just an fyi!

I wonder if they chaged. I had bought some a while back and had no problems with it. What is so bad with the stuff you got?

Same experience here, it's pretty brittle. I like barrys hookup wire from gpcb

Same experience here. Barry's wire is way better.

I've been using Mammoth wire for a long time, never had a problem.

What makes it so bad for you? I bought some of the precut stuff a few months back (like 6 colors) and I've used it all with pretty average success (nothing amazing about it, but it works just as I need it to, so I'm happy with it).

The best wire I've used is Ted Weber's teflon solid core wire. LOVE that stuff, and at $0.30 a foot, it's cheaper than just about any other teflon-coated wire I've come across (though to be fair I've not made it my life's goal to scour the world for)...

I used Mammoth's pre-cut wire bundle a good bit for a few months when I got into this hobby.  It's usable, but not the easiest to work with.

For starters, the jacket (or whatever it's called) has a low melting point; that is, the colored part melts sometimes even when not in direct contact with the iron tip.  Second, I personally like pre-tinned or solid core wire.  This stuff can be a pain sometimes since the strands are rather loose.  It doesn't hold shape as well others.  Lastly, and most importantly, the wire/strands are weak.  I've broken

Don't get me wrong, I love Mammoth, but their wire is something I no longer use.  Heck, I still have like 6 bundles of the pre-cut stuff.
