The product is generally functional and suitable for small projects, though some customers reported issues with the straightness and quality of the steel.

Ordered 1/4" Lowes sent 1/8"

Would Not Recommend

Ordered 1\4" x 1 1/2" flatbar for a project. Lowes selected and sent 1/8"x 1 1/2". How could a national hardware store employee not know the difference?

Have to settle

Would Recommend

As always, checked out what I wanted to purchase on line before going there just to make sure they had it. Wanted 3/16 ths x 1.25 w steel for a project, yup they had them, should have known better. Got there and had to dig through the mess and everything was mixed together and in wrong areas. Didn't find what I wanted so settled for less, I will make do. Wish I had gone to HD first and saved myself the aggravation that this caused. Will learn someday.

Good, but cost more compared other stores

Would Not Recommend

I used the bar to make brackets for a fence which needed to be secured to a concrete slab. I thought Lowe's price for the bar was more than it should, as comparable to other stores.

Could of been more affordable.

Would Recommend

Used this to reinforce a sagging garage door panel. The size was just right and worked very well. A bit expensive but got the job done when I needed it.

Fixed my Problem

Would Recommend

Great for holding outside vents in place. The screw holes had been worn away and my vent kept falling out. I found these and brought them home to try! Solved my problem.
