Good quality, fairly priced, true to size brass rod.

I needed a bit longer brass rod to utilize as a soft punch for a project. The old one I owned was a bit too short. This 12 piece of round stack brass shoild be perfect for my intended use at a price that wont break the bank. It was supplied in a plastic slip on case which I believe I will keep as a storage place for the brass rod. Met all of my expectations!

The pins are of good quality, however the ones I have purchased require resizing. If you are using non metric drill bits the the drill holes are slightly small than the pins and will require resizing before you get them to go into your scale or what ever you are working on. Im going to try metric size pins and see if the drill holes actually match up with the pins size. I suspect that because the pins are manufactured else where, that might be the solution.

I liked how well made the brass was and also how it was shipped. it comes in its own case which made it very easy to store without any risk of scuffing or bending. It was a very durable yet hard brass easy to cut but very strong for knife handle making. I would definitely recommend this brass to any serious knife makers very high quality!!!

My husband requested that I order this brass rod for him. He was very impressed with the packaging and the apparently quality of it. He is gathering materials to build a knife and this is one more piece of the puzzle.

This came in plastic holder and was as described. It was a little oxidized and not as clean in the pictures but that was to be expected. The cut area was not as clean either, but again to be expected. Nothing really to complain about. I will clean it both of the surface and the ends before I use it any way. Will see if there are any issues with this. Will update if anything happens.

This measures 12x0.5 so its exactly what I expected and needed. The ends dont have burrs. Nice piece of metal.

These rods are actually 3/8 inch in diameter. I had also ordered some 1/8 rods which I had already reviewed and it guess Amazon got confused. These brass rods are a perfect 3/8 inch. They appear to be laser cut. They seem pretty bright and putting them in my lathe or drill and polishing with1000 grit they will shine bright. Got this to make a small tool for my engraving and these brass rods are always good stock to have on hand for whatever project may turn up.

The diameter of these brass rods is accurate when measured with a micrometer. Excellent, easily machinable round-stock material for light duty shafts, pins, etc.

BOTTOM LINE: 1. I recommend this brass rods. 2. The current price of ~$8 is reasonable. LIKES: - High quality brass (copper and zinc alloy). - No defects (perfectly straight and sized). DISLIKES: - None at this time. UPDATES: None at this time. I will update this review with any changes or important additions should any arise.
