K & S 1143 Round Brass Tube, 1/16" OD x 0.014" Wall x 36" Long, 5 Pieces, Made in The USA

I give these brass tubes a five-star rating; the packaging gets only a 1-star rating. Each tube has a bar code attached to it that requires a knife to cut it off and paint thinner to clean off the adhesive. Cleaning off five tubes took me about 20 minutes. If you bend the tubes during cleaning, you will neve get them straight again.

For the price of these tiny brass tubes, the seller should put them in a better box/tube or other container for shipping. All the tubes I bought were bent. I need them straight, which I didn't get, but that was the product description. Straight 1/16" brass tubes.These are tiny 1/16" brass tubes. They are quite expensive for what you get. The box they came in was in good condition, so i can only conclude that the product was shipped in a defective state. I don't think it is the manufacturer's fault. I think it is the fault of the person who shipped them. They came damaged. I'm just tired of trading stuff back and forth with A'zon for product defects. It happens way too often. Prime is not paying off, IMO. Amazon, you need to monitor your vendors instead of doing rocket tricks, dudes.

I bought an assortment of odds and ends tubes from K&S a few years back and found a couple of 1/16" brass snippets among them. I found this particular size quite useful in making hinge pins, gun barrels, and any number of other applications. I have visited nearby hobby stores that sell K&S products but had trouble locating lengths longer than 12". When I saw these advertised here I bought them on impulse. You get five pieces in 36" lengths! That's a lot of gun barrels! Definitely a good-to-have item.
