1018 Carbon Steel Round Rod, Unpolished (Mill) Finish, Cold Finished Temper, ASTM A108, 1 Diameter, 12 Length

I bought this to make a 200+lb dumbell for singe arm Kroc rows. This thing is the perfect length, and stronger than anything at the gym. I just bought a cheap bicycle grip for the center and it holds standard plates like it was made for them (I only use 10s and 5s). You can then use standard spring collars, or like me, get the standard lockjaw collars. Great for a Herculean home gym.

I purchased the 1 inch diameter by 72 inches in length. I was so afraid to buy this without really knowing the size but it turned out to be perfect. I was missing a bar for my smith machine and I finally figured it out. I’m so happy with this purchase. The shipping also great it was very fast.

It’s unfortunate I didn’t put the dial indicator on it when it came last week. It easily measures close to an 1-1/16th. I received the 1” pillow block bearings, and was shocked when the shaft wasn’t even close. I’ll have to find a section of 1” shaft locally. Packaging was excellent and it arrived quickly just wrong size.

I used this to make a laid-back bicycle seat post. I bent it and then make vertical supports that went down to the frame to form a triangle. I wanted a lower seat and moved back to provide enough leg room. I weigh in at about 400lbs and it has worked wonderfully!

My goof. It is as thin as a paper clip. I needed a steel ROD to keep an air conditioner from falling out of my odd shaped window.

Arrived on time and as described

As advertised

decent deal didnt have to take time off work to go to the metal store

Exactly what I needed and it was straight. I was worried that it would have a bend in it but it did not.

Worked out great for what Im using them for.
