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

My local hobby and hardware stores didnt have any in stock. I really needed it to finish a hobby project. Quality was great for what I needed it for in completing a rocket hobby that Im working on.

I use these in the construction of aluminum wind chimes.

Its a rod what can you say. It was perfect for the application and shipping and delivery time was great!

The surface was rough, like it had been hit on something during cutting. The cut wasnt perpendicular to the rod, which surprised me. Its soft aluminum. All in all, it was what they said it was. Yes, I would buy it again if I needed to repeat what I did again.

This rod is sold as 1/4 in diameter, it actually measure .256 which is 6/1000 over 1/4 inch. I wanted to use a section of this rod to reduce the shaft size of a 1/4 in knob. The rod will not fit into the 1/4 inch knob. I can fix this by turning the rod in my lathe.

I knew I would need to bend this, and was worried it might not bend well. I saw indications that is should be bendable, so I got it... and sure enough, it was! Plus, it kept its rigidity in the process, which was also important to me. I found this to be of high quality aluminum stock, and it performed exactly as I needed it to, at a reasonable price!

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

Quality product.
