   "The smallest they had (highest gauge) was 22 gauge solid.  I picked   
   that up.  Should work fine, right?   
      
   No 24 or 26, etc. gauge.  Tnx.  "   
      
      
   The wire-wrap isn't with the wire, it's back with the tools and such...   
   Also, they sell a tool that looks like a big jewelers screwdriver.  It's   
   a wire-wrap tool.  The tool comes apart, and there's a wire stripper   
   for wire-wrap wire inside.  The tool's about $6 or so.
