Perfect for my project.

Would Recommend

Was working on a motorcycle fabrication project. Was nice not having to buy a 20 foot stick. Yes it cost more per inch than a larger stick but was worth the convenience.

Steel is not always quality steel

Would Recommend

I needed a piece of very good quality plain steel square tube. I bought this at Lowes. I couldn't find the seem and I good a good smooth bend with my bender.

Just what I needed

I needed to fabricate an extension for off-road use for a trailer coupler. This had the right dimensions and was very good quality. It was perfect for my application.

Good Tube

Would Recommend

Bought this for a small project and was pleased with the production quality. #200 sandpaper really shines this stuff up (with a coat of gloss clear coat), made it look very expensive.

Hard to find

Would Recommend

I buy a lot of steel from a local vender but he doesn't carry round stock like this. Will use this for a medium duty axle for a small panel cart I am making. Make sure you clean it and paint or lubricate it to limit rust. The only reason for the 4 rating is because of the high cost.
