accu-flex versus softflex

Meteor,

I'd have to say that they are very very similar. I don't see any differences in the two brands, but I've never used Soft-Flex so I don't have an actual comparison to give you. I do know that Accu-Flex has a wider assortment of colors, where as Soft-Flex is very limited with their colors.

I did a Google search and found where someone polled the two wires:

Thank you. That was what I needed to know. I appreciate it.

Merry + Bright,

There's something similar in name, acculon, that one of my suppliers describes as "the cheap stuff" (well, my take on their words). I'll stick with SoftFlex.

(BTW, I think I figured out what prevented me from posting last night

- and I actually sat down in front of the computer to update the blog)

Name brand wire is like name brand milk. If there's a difference beyond price, I can't tell it! I use .019, 49 strand for nearly everything, and the brand doesn't seem to an effect on the outcome of my project.

When I was teaching basic jewelry making, I recommended that students buy several brands, several weights, and used them until they find they have a preference, or find that they don't.

When you don't care, then it's easier, because you can buy what's available!

All I use is SoftFlex and have done so for years....
