I purchased this K&S 87147 Round Stainless Steel Rod, 1/2" OD x 12" Long for the intended purpose of using it as a gauge for a prototype project. I was in a position of needing to know if a certain size steel shaft would be the correct fit without having to buy, measure, and cut a specific length of that size shaft just to see if it would work. I scanned Amazon for any round metal object or type of elongated shaft of a certain diameter in size that I could use instead of having to use the method mentioned. Luckily, I came upon these precut 12 inch long K&S rods. I found that some of the rods offered were available in different materials and in quite a few diameters of interest. Long story short, I was able to order a handful of these rods in the various diameters for a fraction of the cost of just one length of a steel shaft. These K&S shafts made it easily possible to test each size and determine which size would best work for my project. And, as a bonus, I was also able to use these same rods as spindles in my floor standing drill press to cut short lengths of different ID tubing with — which these pieces of tubing were also part of my project. I had already engineered a horizontal cutting gig with adjustable blade depth for my drill press, so the rest was easy with these rods. These K&S 12 inch long rods turned out to be just another unexpected purchase that worked out perfectly. The quality of these rods was better than expected and each one had a decent finish. Each rod was also well within the expected tolerances of size and overall length. I have found many more uses for these K&S rods!

K&S has been around a long time and it's easy to see why when they're selling quality merchandise like this.

I used these stainless steel rods to make pins for the lift gate on my utility trailer. Seem to be of great quality, nice and straight.

Correct size and length arrived. Not rusted or corroded or bent. Better than some other brands I have purchased.

I bought two rods 1/2†diameter to be used with ball bearings. One fits perfectly but one is oversized. When I contacted the manufacturer they refused to offer any productive assistance. Luckily Amazon was more understanding and did solve my problem. Thank you Amazon!
