Questions & Answers

Will zinc plated rod rust outside?
ByAug 4, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Hello, This product is fairly rust resistant...even outside in the elements. The only thing that may compromise the zinc plating is if you were to submerge the product in saltwater for great lengths of time. ---Acme Manufacturing Company Product Team

          Hello, A bandsaw with a fine-tooth metal blade is the best recommendation. Material should be clamped or secured in some way to avoid spinning. ---Acme Manufacturing Company Product Team

                  These 3 foot long 1/4 inch course threaded metal rods are the perfect solution for an overhead laundry room cabinet that is sagging due to the heavy weight of liquid detergents, bleach, fabric softener and other cleaning products. I'll just add some 2 by 4 between ceiling rafters for attaching the top end of each rod and run them down just behind the cabinet face frames between the doors and I can tighten the nuts in the attic to bring the face frame up to the ceiling and back in alignment. Thanks for having them in stock.

                  I bought this as a dowel for floating shelves. I can say the employee that told me I could cut through this with a hacksaw was not aware that it is nearly impossible to cut not only into the 8 pieces I would need but that the blade cannot withstand this type of task. I was able to have a family member assist me but the steel is solid and sturdy which is why this gets 5 stars. Solid, sturdy, and stable to say the least. I MUST ADD it was cheaper as a pickup order. Buying it in store made it $17 and change vs buying as a pickup which made it under $8. You're welcome in advance.

                  Ripoff!!!
                  Ordered online and waited 7 days for delivery, only to find out that the 1/2” threaded rod was NOT stainless steel but very soft, grade 5 steel, that rusted within 5 days where I cut it. Hard for me to accept that HD is misleading its customers.

                      I needed this threaded rod to build a leveling foot for a tool stand. I already had the swivel foot and knob. The stand is still being built so I haven't cut the rod to length yet. This rod is well made with clean threads and a smooth finish. I think it will work well.

                      This item was one of many items I bought that day. It was being used for a project. I was building a box to hold 1/4-1/2 mile AWG 14 wire on a spool. It worked perfect! Shout out to everyone that helped me that day! I'd especially like to thank Tykel who helped decide what wood I needed. You rock!!
