This one-metre stainless steel rod from RS PRO is a versatile addition to any toolbox. It's suitable for engineering and construction projects in a variety of settings, from industrial plants and construction sites to home garages.


The hard-wearing bar is made from austenitic stainless steel that's resistant to rust and tarnishing. This means it will have a longer service life and is suitable for use in wet and warm conditions. You can also use it in areas sensitive to magnetism, as the rod is non-magnetic. The bar's metal material contains sulphur, making it pliable and easy to work with.


For ease of use, this mild steel material has a hardness of 262 HB on the Brinell Scale, so it's simple to cut and doesn't require a lot of time-consuming machining. You'll commonly find this bar used to produce masonry structures, machine components and fasteners.
