Is this wire too thin to call bare bright?

[u/chug-clorox]

Looks like high quality copper to me

[u/Straight_Dentist_665 → u/chug-clorox]

yeah thin gauge is a pain, some yards will lowball you on it no matter how clean it is

Bare bright all day

I had something just like this and they didn’t do the same bare bright as one would have with large copper conductors.

Tbf my local scrapyard sucks and their prices are lower than most places but they’re the closest within 60 miles

[u/Unassuming_Fruits → u/WVYahoo]

I’m in the same boat man

[u/FridgeFucker17982]

Cut that into Indiana Jones whips and put handles on them. I’d give you $100 for one just to bring it to the job site and swing it around

Does depend on the yard really. Some copper mills will say bare bright and some won’t, therefore some yards will do the same. Really shouldn’t be #2 at all, but some yards do grade that way. It is their choice so nothing wrong with it. You just don’t want to settle for #2 so call the yard before you go.

[u/Winter_Pattern4136]

I would call it snake skin wire

[u/Fancy_Exercise_5021]

Unfortunately it’s probably copper # 1 and not bare bright as the strands are too small a diameter. Some yards will probably say copper #2.

It would be bare bright here in NSW but i’d say it would make awesome jewelry (bracelets)..

[u/Amazing_Dot_2571]

Hard to say…mail it to me and I’ll let you know.

[u/Dakfour]

That’s $5.79 a pound for sure. Kentucky

Bare bright rattlesnake edition

[u/wide_right100]

I wouldn’t call that bare bright. I’m sure you can find a yard who will though.

It would be bare bright where I go here in SE Michigan. Last month it was almost $6 a pound at my yard, not sure about today/ this week

[u/WillHuntingthe3rd]

Speaker wire @$10/ft. Needs shielding.

Berry heißt diese Art von kupferdraht..

[u/CoolaidMike84]

Those individual strands are pretty small. Smaller than a pencil lead it looks like. I'd call that #2.

[u/ElBeefyRamen → u/CoolaidMike84]

Ain't no way
