Half-Hard
Half-hard is one of three measurements of wire hardness (the other two are dead soft and full-hard). Half-hard wire is a little bit harder and a little bit stronger than dead soft wire because it has been pulled through a draw plate (a tool with holes in it the same size and shape of the wire). It, too, can be bent with your hands unless you are using a very thick gauge.
