BONUS TOOL
Once you start working with wire, you’ll start accumulating different sizes of wire….which can sometimes be challenging in regards to keeping it all sorted.
If you plan on buying your wire online, obviously you know what size you’re getting (the package will be clearly marked).
But sometimes, you will not know the gauge of a piece of wire….it could be a scrap piece of wire….
Is it 24 gauge or is it a 26 gauge? Is that 12 gauge or 10 gauge?
Here’s my new favorite tool….totally not necessary at all if you’re just starting out but definitely something to keep in mind….
