Excellent and flexible wire
I bought three different gauges (18, 20, & 22) to use for making custom computer power wires, and it worked great. This is a good price for tinned copper wire of this length and with a silicone jacket, and IIRC there weren't even many options when I was looking. The silicone really makes it extremely flexible, which I learned after I bought it that is typically NOT what you want when doing custom cabling, as wires need to be stiff to hold their positions, but it's exactly what I needed for the project. The other caveats with silicone insulation for such a project are that it's harder to push terminals into connectors, since the flexibility causes the wire to bend, and you can't melt sleeving or heatshrink to it like you can with normal insulation, but obviously this isn't an issue with the wire, just something to keep in mind if you're looking to use it for that. It wasn't a problem for me, as ideally you should melt/shrink it to the terminal, which is what I did. Also, for anyone looking to use it for what I did, I got the smaller gauges (higher numbers) because I was daisy-chaining SATA power connectors together, meaning I had to crimp two wires to each terminal, and they're tiny. The 18 AWG wire was still plenty small for that, and of course allows for more current, which I needed, so I didn't need the smaller wires. Still, it's nice to have them, and if I decide to make a fan extension I'll use one of them for that.

BNTECHGO 18 Gauge Silicone Wire Spool 100 feet Ultra Flexible High Temp 200 degrees
I'm reworking all the interior and exterior electrical wiring, relay's, connections (body grounds as well) on my 1994 GMC K-2500, the original wire did a good service for the 25 years it has been used. I'm disabled and refuse to pay $50,000 for a new truck (it wouldn't run as well as my 1994 anyway) I was hesitant about this brand or wire, but I thought (I'm not supposed to do that) I would give them a chance thanks to the reviews. I was Extremely Pleased at the High Quality of this "Real Copper" wire, not aluminum w/ coated- COPPER !, tinned very well, the silicone insulation is real industrial grade silicone. I run all my wire inside of braided nylon sheathing and securely fasten it every 24", using adhesive lined shrink tubing over all connections- works very well with this wire, it is easy to form for tight turns, lays straight once laid out, soders excellently (the top notch tinning helps there), I now have several hundred feet of 18, 16, 14 and 12 gauge of this VERY High Quality wire (It will be used on my solar system as well now) Thanks again Amazon for another "Top Quality, First Class" product that I can have delivered to my door, 90 miles from town, AND Thanks to everyone who takes the time to review the items we all could benefit from knowing better what the strong and weak points are

Another great find
I was able to repair a automotive terminal located in the engine bay using the 18 Gauge wire spool and it is working properly and saved me from having to purchase a new pigtail.I still have plenty left for other repairs.Price was fair and quality appears to be good as well.I really like how this wire is so flexible and easy to manage especially when working on autos and tight places becausei can easily maneuver the wire without fear of bending so much hat the wire breaks as they do with more stiff wires.Happy with purchase so far, and i'm sure i will purchase again.

Great Project Wire
Purchased to use when I was upgrading my kid's Power Wheels with LED lights. The jacket on these is nice and soft, wire is very flexible which is great for my project running wires around a number of sharp angles. Soldered this wire, used bullet connectors, put heat shrink tube on these wires, electrical tape, you name it. Ran lengths of 15ft to a battery, no issues. Would purchase again, nice quality.

Flexy micro welding cable
Using this to redo the power wiring in my computer.The combo of soft insulation & super thin wires lets this curve tightly without bending or kinking.Excellent for "cable management".Lots of small wires improves current handling, just like welding cable does.I got red, the red is fully red, like RGB @ 250 , 0, 0.

Nice wire first time using silicone
I have been installing automotive accessories for years now, and I have never used a silicone wire. It held up well, and was easy to use. 18awg for a Lower voltage application but it worked great.A low cost solution

wet noodle
if you're planning to solder using this wire, then this isn't the wire you're looking for. the tiny strands will not stay put so making any kind of solder joint is an absolute pain. the wire moves around like a wet noodle so you'll almost require your own jig of alligator clips to work with these. would definitely not buy again.

Great, but be sure to check the fit.
Great wire. Nice and soft. The high strand coun't makes for a good crimp with ferrules. Took one star off because the insulation is thicker than most 18 gauge wire, so I'm not able to use it with some of the connectors that I wanted to. Just a fair warning for the next purchaser.

Great cable just a shame it is so expensive....
It really is 18AWG unlike a lot of others where 8awg of what you buy is insulation.

Great wire, as expected
The silicone insulation makes this wire perfect for probes, where the wires are constantly being bent and manipulated. Made several oscilloscope and test probes from this wire. Large number of threads and tin plating gives very good conductivity.

it is Exactly as specified
Liked everything about it. I'm using this product to make new power leads for hot wire foam cutting bows. Very pleased with my purchase.

Would buy again when run out
Very amazing wire, flexable and tinned ofc with markings on the wire itself ! True to its description.
