Science is everything
A new company by the name of SHOK Industries is hitting the USA. I have gotten some sample wires to test out and would like to share my findings with you guys. I will let the pictures do most of the talking but I could not say enough about this product. It is literally a fraction of the price compared to anything that comes close to it.
The Wire
I tried to get as clean of a cut on each wire as I could but some simply do not cut as clean as others I have come to learn. Here are a few to give comparisons.
American Bass 1/0 vs Shok(right)
Shok vs KNU Koncept KLMX, it is kind of a optical illusion as the shielding on the KLMX is smaller it makes it look as though there is a larger amount of wire. I can get more pictures with measurement but the Shok actually has over 1000 strands more and is copper not the clad junk //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
Stinger Pro Hex vs Shok
Stinger HPM vs Shok
My honest take on the wire is this. As far as size and flexibility it beats everything besides Stinger HPM, which I would say it is right on par with in both categories. The big difference is HPM sells anywhere from $5-$7 a foot online and as high as $8-$9 a foot at high end retail stores. Russ's product seems to match in both flexibility and size while having over 1000 more strands, for literally a fraction of the price. Another large difference is that Shok wire is copper while the Stinger is Copper Clad, so that means there is less resistance and more current travel capabilities in the Shok wire. I look forward to using it in an application to get a further judgment but for the sample piece is very "shoking" lol but for real it is great.
Current Prices are
129.99 per 50' roll and shipping is a flat rate 13.95
