Ok, after reading all the other reviews, I expected this to be wound poorly. Unfortunately, I found that you can't get more than a couple hundred feet of usable wire from this CRAP even if you try to unwind it carefully. Count on 50% waste wire untangling messes from the spool. If it WERE wound by hand, I'd expect better. It seems they just spin a spool until a pound of scrap metal is wound on it, and ship it to you. If they just put the tangled mess in a cardboard box without the spool, you might have better luck. I don't understand how you can screw up winding wire on a spool this badly!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wire has clear lacquer, hard to see, October 11, 2009

This review is from: Magnet Wire, Enameled Copper Wire, 1lb Spool, 24 AWG, 0.0213" Diameter, 800' Length (Misc.)

The insulative lacquer is clear, and darn near invisible. Its not red, like in the picture, so its difficult to tell exactly where on the wire I have removed insulation.

Both open flame and sandpaper appear to be very effective at lacquer removal.

However, the spool appears to be the appropriate size and length, it conducts well, and is indeed magnet wire. Seems like a decent product for a nice low price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly wound on the spool, March 17, 2010

This review is from: Magnet Wire, Enameled Copper Wire, 1lb Spool, 18 AWG, 0.0418" Diameter, 200' Length (Pack of 1) (Misc.)

The wire looks like it was wound by hand. I am used to better which I have always been able to buy elsewhere, even Radio Shack gets it right.

The problem is when you are laying down your turns, you cannot get the turns uniform and 100% coverage and there are gaps between the turns. I won't buy again from this mfg.

Might be okay for some kind of craft work where you cannot see the wire when you are done.
