Did the job.

Would Recommend

I used this to repair a small garden trailer. Did the job. I wanted something bigger but this was the biggest available in town.

Lucky find

Would Recommend

Exactly what I had been looking for but had difficulty finding. Ideally, I'd like too find this product in 10' length.

Great product but too expensive

Would Recommend

I used this product to make a new leg press for my weight bench, and it worked perfectly. My project involved welding, and the weight of this product served well. It is expensive to buy this kind of metal at Lowe's or any other home center, as it is more of a convenience item there, but the product is good.

Solid Aluminum Tubing for Smaller Jobs

Would Recommend

I used to to duplicate a balister design on an existing set of handrails, It is strong, and easily cut to length with a hacksaw blade. It is one of the few places you can purchase a limited length for such a task without purchasing much longer lengths from base metal tubing vendors on the web, and much easier to transport to the job.

If project is to be strong, check wall thickness

Would Recommend

I shop at Lowe's often and seldom have issues. Two of the walls of this product are about half the thickness of the opposing walls.My project did not require a lot of strength. The project metal, especially the aluminum is scuffed and dinged requiring sanding and polishing.

I have this mounted in the attic between 2 rafters. I have an I-hook attached and chain hanging for my 150lb punching bag. Works well!
