Electro-galvanized tie wire gives you everything standard black annealed wire does — with the added benefit of a zinc coating that resists rust and keeps your hands clean. This 16-gauge electro-galvanized steel wire meets ASTM A853 specifications, delivering consistent gauge and reliable tensile strength across every foot of the 300-foot roll. At 3 lbs in a compact 5x5x1.5 inch coil, it stows easily in a tool bag, truck bed, garage shelf, or barn. Contractors use it for rebar tying on outdoor slabs and structures where bare wire would rust before the pour is even finished. Farmers reach for it for fence repair, panel securing, and general property fixes. Gardeners prefer it over bare wire for trellises and tomato cages — no rust stains on plants or hands. The galvanized finish holds up through rain, humidity, and seasonal exposure far better than uncoated wire. The wire is semi-annealed — strong enough to hold under tension, flexible enough to twist by hand. Cut to length with any wire snips or diagonal pliers. No special tools required. Unlike black annealed wire, the electro-galvanized finish means no oily residue during handling. Pick it up and get straight to work.
