Inexpensive, durable, and solid

I bought this to use as an axle for a chicken cage and it works great. The ends were fine for me, but take a look at them before you leave the store to make sure the starting threads are not damaged.

For my aircraft maintenance job, we needed a four foot steel rod; Lowe’s had what we needed and more! Why look anywhere else?!

Solid, Quality Threads

Would Recommend

Bought this to use on my boat trailer. It seems to be very strong and the threads are clean and even along the entire length. Worked out for what I was using it for.

Straight and good thread profile

Would Recommend

This threaded bar was purchased to be part of a hobby size injection molding machine. It was chosen due to the coarse acme thread detail and used to make a custom actuator. The thread allows for a better clamping profile than a lead screw. Thus far, my machine has run approximately 8,000 cycles and operates flawlessly.
