Customer Reviews for Everbilt 1/8 in. x 250 ft. Galvanized Vinyl Coated Steel Wire Rope

The cable worked great to suspend decorative outdoor lighting on the client's patio. Having a coated cable also prevents rust stains from forming on the lighting or the concrete. Made the project a breeze!

Sturdy cable

Excellent medium duty product with unlimited potential uses around the house or shop. Technical stuff first, the individual strands of wire are approx. .012" round, six individual wires are twisted and made into a single bundle, 7 bundles are twisted and they now make the one cable. The cable is 1/8" round (see photo) and the covering is 1/32" thick making the cable with the covering 3/16" round (see photo). Each strand has been galvanized for weather resistance and the cable as a whole has been covered with plastic sheathing giving it a 340 lb. working load ability. What this all means is that this is a pretty tough product that can be used outside in the weather and expected to last a long time. Cutting, you will need bolt cutters to cut this cable, side cutters or lineman's pliers will not work. In a pinch you can use a hack saw but it is a huge pain. I use this cable to keep my lawn furniture from wondering away while I'm on vacation, works like a charm. I have also used this cable to help support newly planted trees, tension sagging gates and as a clothes line. Great product, easy to work with, designed for outdoor use, recommended.

It is nice to have 250 feet of product to do things with and yes, it seems a lot but you will use it. Some uses are a dog run, hanging outdoor lights, a clothesline, as railings on a deck, or around an enclosure for trash cans. My use is for creating cables to top off trees when I cut them and I want to guide the direction. I double these up. I loop the ends and I double-clamp the end off with Crosby clamps. For trees, I sometimes need length, up to 100 feet depending on what I have to anchor to close by. Making two cables leaves me with 50 feet on the roll. Like I said, it goes fast. The product does not rust; it is easy on the hands. It has the plastic sheathing. The roll it comes on is surprisingly small-looking and not heavy so it is easy to store or transport or use out in the field. The wire is galvanized, coated, and easy enough to use. It cuts hard. I use electrician’s wire cutters and this gives me a quick, nice cut. It is decent cable, and a reasonable price. I have not seen anything go wrong with the product.

Great cable can achieve a good tension used it for a long run of string lights

used for making a dog line.

Extremely pricey for what it has to offer. I was in a pinch and this did the trick, but definitely not worth the price.

This spool did NOT have 250ft of cable on it. It is 80ft too short. Trying to return to Home Depot.

No much to say very good material

I needed to replace my outdoor clothesline and rather than buy 25’ lengths and find myself short, I opted for the reel. The 1/8th inch diameter seems like 1/4th” but it hung fine.

Using it for a solar and wind powered clothes dryer. The fiber clothes lines kept breaking, I do not think this one will break any time soon.

Just what I needed for a new clothesline.

Just what I was looking for it’s really nice quality

Great product, affordable price

Exactly what I wanted!

I bought this cable to use to string lights across 6x6 post below my shade sails. This was the perfect size to string a tight and I know it will hold well during windy days.

It was reasonably priced and in stock. Looks good I stalled.
