Wire

I love wire. Wire is one of the Modular Electronics.

Tips/Techniques

Buy in Bulk

You will save a lot of money.

Look for Local Surplus of Wire

I found 2000 feet of 22 gauge wire for $15 2024 prices from a local electronics recycler.

Wire Wrap

Not a lot of modern use of wire wrap, but the small gauge wire and the cutters are useful. Pretty much if you build a board with wire wrap, murphy will disconnect/cause oxidation on three wires and you'll never figure out why the board doesn't work.
