Customer photo review of Round Brass Rod: 1/16" OD x 36" Long (10 Pieces)

My order came fast and was VERY well packaged. I was concerned that the rods might get bent during shipping but they were packed so well, there was no way that was going to happen - much appreciated!

Customer photo review of Round Brass Rod: 1/16" OD

These brass rods are perfect for the Pick & Whisks I make for reenactors of the Florida Seminole Indian Wars. A great product, thanks.

Round Brass Rod: 1/16" OD

Very impressed with the quality of the product. Packaged so well I thought I was receiving a very delicate object. These were purchased to use in my stain glass art. I made a sleigh and needed the rods for the runners. They were very easy for a 95 pound weakling to bend into the shape I wanted. I would not hesitate to purchase from you in the future. Thank you for a great experience and product.

I like doing business directly with you, I can get the 36" lengths that the hobby stores generally do not stock. Do have one suggestion, The glue on the tags, when it is placed directly on the brass makes a mess that has to be cleaned off. The material is placed in a plastic wrapper, is individual tags necessary? Over all very satisfied with your products and and service! Thanks
