K & S 83043 Round Aluminum Rod, 1/8 OD x 12 Long, 1 Piece, Made in The USA

The picture is of my second order. The first order was only bent in the middle. Both of the orders came in a bag which obviously was not adequate to protect the rods from the mail system. I will try again and see if the third Tim is the charm.

Why is it that when I type in 5/16 drill rod, I end up with 5/16 aluminum rod? This isnt the only product that shows up wrong when I type in specific search parameters. If I wanted Aluminum, I would have searched for aluminum. Aluminum is NOT drill rod material. Its not worth returning and not worth arguing over. I guess ill just have to learn to NOT trust the Amazon search results.

I feel I got what I paid for, dosnt happened often.

I used these for crafting. They are very soft and bendable, ideal for sculpting. You can find for cheaper on hobby sites online, but these will arrive much quicker

Quality

Dimensions are accurate, exactly 0.375. Great for building projects. US made, quality product.

I needed to make a new handle for something and this worked perfect. Soft enough to bend, yet sturdy enough to hold up to every day use.

Product was misrepresented.

needed a smooth straight rod for my sewing thread to roll off. this did the trick!

Arrived bent in several places
