Perfectly Intact
All 3 pieces came perfectly intact and had Bubble mailer and a nice solid box. Idk how others have broke, maybe mine was lucky. I did snap 1 in half to test the durability (and I needed a shorter stick), it was pretty tough. Almost like snapping a pencil. The pieces are worth it.

Worked great as carbon electrodes
I used these as electrodes on an electrolysis machine that I use to make hypochlorous acid (for cleaning). They work great. I'm still on my first pair and have made about 20 gallons so far.

Useful when smelting, but brittle.
Long and fragile. I do wish there was a tapered ebd or maybe even a spoon shape, but the work well for what they are. Though they are brittle, and even a slight bump or tap can snap them.

Quality product.
Quality graphite stir rods. Great value for the money.

They’re very delicate and can get damaged in shipping.
They work great as long as they’re not broken during delivery. Had a couple that got busted in transport. The box had been put in with other Amazon things. Main box had some damage from handling is my guess

These are important in smelting.
I love using these rods to check on my metals to see if they’re completely melted since I currently don’t have an industrial thermometer gun, this is an old fashioned way of checking if your metals are thoroughly melted.

It’sa must for pouring good metals!
Gotta skim when cleaning impurities out of metals! Don’t forget borax!

WOW BUMMER
I ORDERED THESE EARLY MAY, NEVER …NEVER USED THEM!!! I TAKE THEM OUT OF THE BUBBLE WRAP AND THIS IS WHAT I SEE . I HATE THAT THE RETURN WINDOW HAS CLOSED BECAUSE I CERTAINLY WOULD RETURN THEM. THEY FEEL LIKE CHALK AND APPARENTLY ARE NOT AS RIGID AS I THOUGHT WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS… NOT AT ALL!!!! *I COULD NOT SUBMIT WITHOUT THE RATING WHICH I PUT 1STAR IT DOESNT DESERVE THAT.

Broken
The graphite stir sticks work well, but they all arrived broken. The box they are shipped in is not sturdy enough for the shipping. The only option was a refund and return, no replacement, so I decided to keep them since they still have one section that is long enough for small crucibles

Break so easily
Not sure why but when using they seem too just break apart. So I just use my tongs now for stirring.
