Hey Troy. For Christmas, I ordered .018 and .015
from MBS at $35.00 a spool. I made up some lines
last weekend and I'm very happy them.
I don't think you can go wrong with this supplier.
I use 1/6" K&S copper tubing instead of brass eyes.
Cut a 1-1/4" length, thread it onto the control line
then bend it around a small screwdriver to form the eye.
Wrap as usual.
Using copper tubing has several advantages.
I use hard point handles, so my lines have to be
EXACTLY equal length. I am fortunate to have a long
paved driveway that I marked at 60' plus increments.
I complete one line and one end of the second line,
then I anchor one finished end of each line and roll them
out on the drive. To get equal lengths I thread the
unfinished end into 1-1/4" of tubing , estimate as close as
possible for equal length and bend the eye. Before I do
the wrapping, I can pull the line through the bent tube
until it accurately matches the other finished line.
The bend in the copper holds everything accurately
until it's wrapped and it does not require a vice or jig.
BTW, a very good source for wrapping wire is multi-strand
"lamp cord" wire (#14) that I peel and unlay. Individual strands
make good wrap wire.
Cheers!
