1018 Carbon Steel Round Rod, Unpolished (Mill) Finish, Cold Finished Temper, ASTM A108, 1 Diameter, 12 Length

Ordered two in a row, had to return both. Supposed to be one inch diameter and both are 1 1/8 diameter. Waste of time.

I got the 1 inch diameter, 24 inch long 1018 carbon steel round rod. It measured just a hair over 24 inches long. And according to my calipers, its slightly over 0.999 in diameter. Perfect size. It does have a large UPC label, but unlike a previous review, the label was fairly easy to peel off. Using just my fingernail, I peeled it off mostly in one piece. There was some minor sticky residue and a shred of torn label left over, but I sprayed a little WD-40 on there and wiped it right off with a paper towel. It took about 2 minutes to get all traces of the label off with no damage to the bar. (This was in my freezing cold basement shop. I bet it would peel off easier if it was warm.)

These steel rods worked great for a welding art project. However, I can save up to 80% buying rods at online-metals with a local warehouse offering will call in my city. So these are good, but much more expensive than local metal shops.

Best deal around nobody local couldn’t touch the price even with the shipping great job thanks

This rod is perfect for my needs as a target gong holder. It holds 3 gongs from 10, 6 and 3 on the same rod without bending at 5 long.

This review is for steel bar - 1 inch diameter and 12 inches long. I am using this as a lock shaft to replace the chain in use now. I will weld a top (think nail head) on this bar and drill a 1/2 inch hole in the bottom for the lock.

decent deal didnt have to take time off work to go to the metal store

Came on time and proper dimensions

I read the reviews and assumed there was only the 1” bar. I incorrectly ordered the 0.125” bar. There is no return policy. The good thing was the bar was delivered faster than expected. Please pay attention to the diameter when ordering!

Rods were individually packed in plastic tubes. No rust, and they were straight. What more would you want? Welded nice with a basic flux gun.
