Many blacksmiths use sucker rod to make tools, particularly punches and chisels. In all of my classes so far we’ve used 5/8" sucker rod to make our chisels. The price of the material can range from $10-$20 or more for a single rod. They are generally 25-30 ft in length though.
I’m thinking about going to Duncanville and picking up some 5/8" sucker rods. They are $10 a rod and a single rod will make a ton of chisels and other tools.
I contacted this seller today: Redirecting...
and he said he still had plenty of sucker rods for sale. He also said he’d help cut them into more manageable lengths. (I like 10ft)
Is anyone else interested in acquiring sucker rods? @jbrown885 should I purchase any for blacksmithing?
