This is a standard reference to earlier times, when instant repairs were needed on many things. The favourite material to try was No 8 wire (8 swg).
So it is shorthand for the NZers attitude of "it can be done".
12-4 wire = 8
Nine. You have to snip it 8 times.
No, in AWG (American Wire Gauge), the wire gauge number actually decreases as the wire size increases. This means that a lower AWG number indicates a thicker wire, while a higher number indicates a thinner wire. For example, a 12 AWG wire is thicker than a 20 AWG wire.

8 is a rational number 8 is an even number 8 is a real number 8 is a natural number 8 as decimal is 8.0 8 as an improper fraction is 8/1 8 as a Roman numeral is VIII 8 in written form is eight
8 but a full squad is 15

Due to the fact that a #8 wire is of a larger diameter than a #10 wire, I would say that logically it should be stronger to break.

The amp size of a wire is determined by its gauge, not the number of wires. An 8-gauge wire is typically rated for around 40-60 amps, depending on the type and insulation of the wire.
I would say UK 8 is a NZ 10, hope this helps, cheers
Yes, 8 gauge wire is thicker and stronger than 10 gauge wire. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire is. Therefore, 8 gauge weld wire fencing would be stronger and more durable than 10 gauge wire fencing.

In cooper electrical wire, gauge 8 means the wire size assigned by the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system. That is why you always will hear about AWG WIRE, it's not the type of wire is the gauge that we are talking about. A gauge 8 wire will be used for connections requiring from 40-45 amps to a maximum of 73 amps. (24 for power transmission). Diameter of an 8 AWG wire is 0.12849 inches. 8 AWG is solid, not stranded.
No, using the AWG system of measuring wire sizes the smaller the wire numbers go the larger the wire size becomes. Hence the number 14 is smaller that the number 16 so it is largest in size of the two wires.
