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

The product is what I expected, but it should have been shipped in a tube. It got bent in the padded envelope. I can probably straighten the rods adequate for my use.

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.
