I doubt anyone is going to agree with me but I've used the thick industrial strand (19 strand count) 0 awg and never had a problem. I have no problem bending it but i've never needed to tie my wire into a knot like people like to show. The reason I first tried it is because I got almost 300 feet of it for free. I still use it, have it in my MR2 right now. Use it you will be fine.
