Use caution when working with any kind of copper-plated steel wire. In the process of bending or forming the wire be careful not to "nick" or otherwise damage the usually very thin outer cladding of copper. Don't drag it over the rough edge of a roof or across the ground. Any break in the plating will allow moisture to rust the steel core and cause failure of the wire.
