GEARit 8 Gauge Marine Electrical Primary Wire, 8 AWG (100ft) Marine Grade Tinned Copper Oxygen Free for Boat, Automotive, RV, Camper, Trailer

Dependable and functional. I bought this 2 times now and will likely be buying more as need arises. Using to connect solar panels on roof to batteries/ inverter at ground level. Wish I could buy this in red or black as opposed to white.

Good product

I have purchased six of these rolls over the last year and I am happy with the quality of the product. This is a good product for a great price. It is the best price on Amazon for 8 gauge marine wire. I did have a problem with the shipping. The package was so loosely packaged that three of the six rolls had the plastic ends loosen and popped off the cardboard roll. This makes a mess when you want to unroll the roll and pull the wire through conduit. I sent a message to GEARit and I will follow up on how they take care of the problem that was handed to me. I will then revise my review to more stars if I am taken care of.

Exactly as advertised but not like the photo. It came with one end of the spool broken off so was a more or less tangled mess--difficult but not impossible to unwind. Hope the seller notes this.

I needed some wire to wire up speakers to my golf cart. Since this is an outdoor application I wanted tinned wire. This stuff fit the bill. 6awg is probably overkill for this application but this was the only wire available on Vine at the time. It works great, my speakers sound fine and I haven’t had any corrosion issues. Luckily my run (since it’s a golf cart) is quite short. I have some leftover so I am going to try and make some wires for my desktop audio setup.

Summary: Using this 8 AWG cable for connecting solar MPPT controllers to the 24-volt battery bank in my Solar/PV system. Observations: For marine applications, which is a very harsh environment for electrical equipment, this specialty cable is built to withstand corrosion. The primary way this differs from non-marine grade cables, is by tinning the individual strands of wire (vs. bare copper). I have cut open very old cables to find that the copper wires, inside the sealed jacket, are corroded. These tinned wires are another layer of defense against corrosion. Recommendation: These cables are PVC, and a recent offering is silicone jackets, which tend to be more flexible. If you really need a more flexible cable, look into welding wires (a comparable offering is listed below, but larger gauge). One offering you might want to be aware of is copper coated aluminum (CCA), yes aluminum wire. Might be good for low current applications, but would steer well clear for high current power applications. Pros: Good fit & finish; heavy insulation; well marked; Country of origin listed on the Amazon page as CHINA; $0.90/foot. Cons: None for now. Conclusion: At $90 for 100 feet, $0.90/foot, rating this 5-stars.

The 6 Gauge Marine Wire by GearIT, is a quality wire that’s heavy duty coated to protect and ready for install. It looks to be as described with all copper wires and is made of good quality materials that lead me to believe it should serve me very well for my intended purpose and last a long time. It comes with heavy insolation around the wire, making it a great marine, RV, outdoor or industrial wire for many things. It comes packed with 861 strands that are tinned oxygen-free copper, making it extra corrosion resistant. So far it’s worked without any issues, but I’ll be sure to update this review, if I ever start to have problems with it. If you’d find it helpful to see an up-close visual inspection of this product, I recommend you watch my included video in full screen or landscape. They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, well it’s a video! You can trust that this review is simply my honest opinion that is attempting to provide you with helpful insight that I wish I had before I picked this product. Hopefully it was helpful in your decision.

Came damaged, little bit of wire wasted, roll it came on destroyed. I am sad. Update: Was contacted by company a solution to my damages, but they only said along the lines of they will try to improve shipping. Update: The tin is only coated on the outer layer, not each individual strand. Makes it hard to solder. 1/10
