Great price fast shipping easy to find what you need I will buy from again. Keep up the good job. Thanks Rich from Cincinnati Oh
Excellent product and great customer service. Quickly sent another order when K&S learned that the previous shipper damage the parcel in transit.
Prefect of my applications.
I plan on using it to make a missing torsion rod on a pre 2000 Bilco Door. I haven't tried to bend it yet.
Used 1/4 inch piano wire for nylon bullwhip handle foundation. Excellent product, highly recommended! ~Steve H. Noreast Whips.
Had to make a torsion spring for a mower that I made myself and wasn’t able to buy a spring that would work.
I bought these to mount in bow rake handles and use as probes to help find ancient stone arrowheads, spearpoints, and tools. I cut each rod in half and epoxied them in place. It works great! I made two more for one of my best friends and his son. Looking forward to using these to help find pieces of the people from the ancient past. Thanks for a great product and prompt shipping!
Very good material! I love K S metal

I've never purchased directly from K&S before, and it was a simple, fast, painless experience. Frequent order and shipping updates, and it arrived quickly. I've trusted K&S for decades, and I will continue to do so!
Music wire, a high-carbon steel wire, offers a wide array of benefits across applications. Its standout feature is its high tensile strength, making it ideal for various mechanical uses. Additionally, its excellent spring properties make it perfect for crafting springs for applications in automotive, aerospace, and medical devices. In the realm of music, it's essential for creating piano, guitar, and violin strings due to its unique acoustical properties. Furthermore, it's widely used in the jewelry, hobby, and stop-motion animation industries.
