Im gonna have to beg to disagree with you on this one mac.
I want to meet the bass than can stress ANY .062" stainless wire to the point of failure.
bending?, how is a bass going to "bend" it once its PROPERLY stretched in position ? (btw, thats what a bolt works also, wether its a cheap hardware grade, or aircraft grade , its STRETCHED but not over stretched. thats how it "fastens"
I have taken TUNA on poppers intentionally re wired with #304, if you can put more stress on the wire than that, then i would like to know how.
also, there is a bit of "work hardening" that hapens when you form wire, try to straighten out a loop on #304 (with FISHING LINE) and honestly tell me how much pull it takes.
A major plug manufacturer has been using #304 for quite a while, with no failures that im aware of, swivels -yes, wire-none..
pls someone correct me if im wrong here, as i want to learn also..
