TCS High tensil vs Bekaert High Tensil

[Allenw]

Any opinions on the Tractor Supply high tensile wire compared to the Bekaert high tensile wire? The high tensile coils for electric fences like these.

I bought a spool of Bekaert because I had a smaller project and wasn't wanting to buy a spinning jenny just for it. It's 179000 instead of 200000 like the coils. This is what I bought.

Any opinions on differences between 179k wire and the 200k wire?

I believe there is about 300 pounds of breaking strength difference between the two. I always opt for 200k+ wire. I am not sure if the coating would be any different between the two or if there would be other wire quality differences.

You might notice the 179000 is a little easier to work with.
As far as strength it's like 30-06 vs 308. ..the 200000 might be a bit stronger but you'll never notice . Both are plenty strong enough.
