As strong as the wire itself. Test it yourself. With your bare hands pull apart most tack welded reinforcing sections. (It may only require a 20 lb. pull.) Now try this with any of the flush welded AA wire tie systems. It won't break! (Unless you can pull well over a thousand pounds.) Laboratory reports are available upon request. Remember a wire tie system is only as strong as the welds that hold it together. Be sure - select from the full line of AA flush welded designs. Send for complete catalog.
