24 Pieces Brass Rods Round Solid Brass Stock Pin Assorted Diameter 1.5-8 mm for 100 mm Length Brass Rod for Drift Punches Various Shaft DIY Craft Model Plane Ship Cars Knife Handles

Needed a new gas gauge shaft for my Model A Ford. I did not know what size shaft I needed. The hobby store (Hobby Lobby) is 40 minutes away, have been there before and they do not have a great selection. Ordered this, found a diameter that worked, cut it to length - back on the road.

Purchased as a kit for various handle pins and bearing pins. Surprisingly hardened already without having to work-harden them.

Pinning knife handles

I used these to repair an old timer pocket knife. The worked great for pins holding the knife together

I wanted a little convenience set of brass rods and liked this kit better than some others. Theyre all accurately sized and nicely cut and polished, and the case is halfway decent as well. Im giving this five stars but for my needs its maybe four, only because its a rather hard brass that is easy to crack or splinter a bit. I didnt catch the 59 designation, but thats the most basic brass and not what you might consider high quality or highly malleable brass (if you want that type for lathe turning or peening homemade rivets and such, look for the H62 brass (China) or one of the other grades produced domestically). Ive nipped and sawed and polished a bit on three sizes so far and have not seen any defects in the metal. As advertised, well made, and I think certainly worth the price and keeping on hand.

Great product.

For the amount of rods you get, its a good deal. I can make plenty of knife handles using these. I can sell my knives for over $100 each. To get this many pins for so cheap I think its a very good turnover.

Needed some brass pins for a woodworking project. Found this kit and went for it, plenty on hand for future projects. Only thing Id change is more of the medium sizes and less of the smaller sizes. The smaller ones are just bit to small for my needs.

Works great for my knife scales.

This is a wonderful addition to my shop supplies and the brass is excellent for knife-making, box hardware and making woodcraft hobbies. I would have preferred more larger diameter rods and fewer of the very small ones having little useful applications, but I am overall well pleased with this kit.
