uxcell 5mm x 150mm 304 Stainless Steel Solid Round Rod for DIY Craft - 10pcs

These are exactly what they claim to be. They are exactly 8mm, which is what I needed. The edges can be a little sharp, and you can tell where they were cut. However, the sides are nice and smooth.

i bought these for 3d printing projects and they are exactly as discribed. Though i ended up getting the same effect from a straightened paper clip, but these are definitely straighter.

I bought these in 5mm x 100mm size with intention to use them with 685 ball bearings (5mm ID). These worked OK; it's just a rod after all. However, whatever they did in the factory to cut them into 100mm lengths, deformed about 1-2mm at the end of the rods. This makes it near impossible to e.g. use them out of the box with ball bearings with 5mm ID such as 685. I had to spend a good amount of time filing the ends by hand in order for them to fit. Once the 1 to 2mm on the ends are filed, the bearings slide over the rods perfectly. I wish this was done at the factory.Keep that in mind if intended use is to use them as axle and/or if they need to be inserted into anything else with matching inner diameter.For comparison, I can do better cuts that don't deform the ends of the material with my home tools (e.g. reciprocating saw).

I had no clue where insect artists got their wire for displays…I decided to order these, they are absolutely perfect for what I needed them for!

I'm using these rods for mounting miniatures. They are solid and require a strong clipper to cut.

Excellent for my intended purpose. I made 3D printed swings and used this as a sturdy crossbar

Good slip fit for my 5mm bearings.

These are obviously sheared to length so the ends are out of round so IF you happen to get a bearing over them you have to move the bearing 5-10mm down the shaft to find a concentric and round spot for them to turn on. Not suitable for anything that need the least bit of precision.

A little pricey but worked well. They made an excellent dish rack.
