Last time I bought this wire it was listed in gauges. Now in inches. Why the change? What a pain!

I agree. On that site, go to Show All. Then click the wire you think you might want. There you will find the gauge. This really is annoying, but you can find it.

That wire is for calibrating the tool if it needs adjusting. The tool should be adjusted from the factory, but you can check it to make sure.

Hi You can Google "awg wire chart", all the measurements for all wire will be there.

Your gauge may be broken. You will need to contact the company to have this part replaced.

It's either a typo or someone was heavy handed with a pair of calipers for measurement. I've ordered 100' sections to 1000' spools from them and everything has been exactly what I expected. 3/8 sounds a little big for a measurement to me but I haven't ever actually checked the diameter. Either way it's the same diameter as all other 550 paracord I've worked with and seemed better quality than some others I've found.

14 gauge is really better. I used 14 gauge and it works great. The longer wire runs should use bigger wire like 14.

My wire is 18 gauge. The wire gauge doesn't matter as there isn't any current going through it. The coating on the outside needs to be able to be buried (ground contact wire) which this is. there isn't any stress on the wire so it doesn't need to be thick, thicker wire will be harder to use when installing. Bottom line don't worry about this wire. I installed this wire 15 years ago and only just needed to do it again since we re-landscaped our yard and tore up the old wire. I figured new wire was better than a bunch of splices. good luck.

Well, the wire is not marked but after comparing it to my other wire collection, it must be 10 ga. wire. Also now I noticed that it says 10AWG right in the description.

I don't know the gauge of the wire but it doesn't seem to be high quality. They're very basic, but I already anticipated that and bought some wire separately for about $30. Heres what I bought and it works great: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EADB2Q/ref=oh_details_o09_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

mine was fine when received from the seller. The gauge will probably still work ok. Just make certain you handle & store carefully.Nick

Calipers say 0.095" - It is a single insulated 18AWG wire (100' length). The description was very confusing, I thought I was getting a big fat cable.....

I don't know the gauge, but the wire is quite small/thin, around 3/16" in diameter.

Does anyone know how to determine the gauge? The higher the number the smaller the wire. For dog fences like these and if you want them to last, 16 to 18 guage. Amazon is doing a bad job not listing the gauge on the posting....

I believe there is a bushing in there so you can use a smaller gauge wire. I will check when I get home to be sure. They make adapters to go up or down in gauge size if you want to do that.

I wouldn't know myself, but on the listing it says this:Gauges : 12-16-25-32-42-54

Hi, We used 16 gauge wire. It works fine for us. Not sure that's the proper gauge but that's what we've used on all our fence chargers.

Hi, KenG,The information that came with this indoor extension cord didn't indicate a wire gauge. It does, however, have information that may contain a code for the size of the gauge that perhaps you would recognize. Here is all of the information that is on the cord: 13A, 125V, 1625W, E186244, A432173C3. I hope this helps.
