It should be pretty close to 16 ga. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | Here you go Terry I'm in the process of cleaning my garage so if I can find my caliper I'll check mine. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | .

If I get a chance I'll measure mine, but first guess is might be 14 gauge at about 0.075"?
