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

This arrived 1 after ordering. Awesome! I used it to fix a broken aluminum bike rack. The rod fits perfectly inside the hollow aluminum tubing of the bike rack.

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

Then some of you might notice that the bar for the lids hinge (shown in the attached picture) can slowly migrate then fall out. I bought one of these cases for a co-worker and they were too busy to notice and push the bar back into place. Of course, they tasked me to fix it. This bar does the trick. 1/8 fits just fine though you will have to cut it to size and make sure to file down the rough edge.

Great rods.

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

Great product for my wine rack

A mistake was made in that I ordered 2-83047, 3/8 Diameter rod and I was sent 1- 83047 rod and 1- 9810 rod, which is an 8mm alum tube. Thus, I could not give a higher rating. Please keep in mind that mistakes like this happen and I do understand. The part isnt worth sending back or raising a fuss about, and I am sure that it is worth the $2.00 I paid for it, so I will keep it and order more aluminum stock later. I just wanted to give a heads up in case there may be a lot of stuff like this happening with the company.

Arrived bent in several places

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.

Quality product.
