The value of the bargain bag is excellent. The shipping was fast, the packaging was very good, and the amount of steel, quality, and variety is well worth the price. Definitely recommended.

This bargain bag was exactly what I needed, to rebuild tail wheel mounting structure requiring many short pieces of various sizes. Easily worth twice the price. Ric

These bags are a good deal and appreciate them. However, in this purchase there was a heavy cutoff rod of looks like stainless steel - very shiny. Thats OK I guess, but it makes me question if the rest of the tubes/rods/plates are really all 4130 or not. Any thoughts on that? Of course, working on aircraft, this is an important question.

Thank you, the Bargain Bag of 4130 Chrome-Moly tubing is just what I was looking for to use as practice with my TIG welder. I wanted to get some welding time in and work with my tube coping unit for good fit-up.

Nice assortment of sizes, wall thickness. Mostly round with a few square and even some chunks of streamline tubing. Theyre all about a foot long or so, maybe a little less, just right for learning to cut, cope and weld tubing.

Nice assortment of tubing for welding practice. Even a couple pieces of streamline tubing, and a couple pieces of square tube.

I have bought this product for years and it was a Good buy. The amount keeps getting smaller but not the price. The size they are sending is great if you worked on mufflers. The price charged is about $1.00 lb. not bad for steel scraps that brings less than $.10 lb. if you dont have to pay to haul it away. I always enjoyed seeing what they had shipped..

Disappointing , Usually buy these for the variation & selection. This box was 1/2 all the same size and contained 4 pieces under 2 long.

I ordered a bargain bag of 4130 several years ago and it was great -- a good assortment of some nice long thinner-walled tubing to practice on. I used it to build a third hand and an articulating clamp for my welding table, while practicing.
Now that Im about to start in earnest on my engine mount, I ordered another bargain bag to hone my skills. I was very disappointed when it arrived. Its all very thick-walled tubing. Almost all of it is 1 1/2 inch x .0937 -- HEAVY STUFF that youd never use in an aircraft. Maybe if I were building a dune buggy. Theres not a single piece even close to the diameter or thickness of a typical tube used in an engine mount. Dang.
And its all cut to an even 12 inches so that itll fit in their box for cheaper shipping -- and even though the shipping cost was way more than the tubing. So no longer pieces that I might be able to use for something else around the house. The box was heavy, to be sure -- and bashed in on all sides.
I frankly dont think Ill ever make use of these short heavy pieces. Its certainly not going to help in practicing fine TIG skills for my engine mount. But itll cost more to send it back than its worth. :-/

I am a beginning tig welder. I’am very good at arc & mig .well at least experienced.. I must keep in mind it’s sold as a grab bag for practice welding. I was expecting tubing that I would be using in light aircraft building. There were a few pieces of 3/8 -1/2 to 3/4 stock, with wall dia. Proportional to home building. 2” tubing is still ok . I was surprised to find well over half weight wise, was 1-1/4 bar stock or such heavy walled material that my old 220 arc stick burner would be growling!
I was pissed! I let it sit for a couple days contemplating sending it back. The shipping being a good chunk of the price didn’t chilled that.
I cooled, laughed a Little, thought about blindly ordering a grab bag for (practice welding) clearly labeled as such. Allison engine mounts and 747 landing gear need welding too. I guess I was expecting something a little more for a Hatz or a cub or Legal eagle.. I maybe should have said light aircraft Tig welding . But it was a grab bag for practice welding . As advertised

The reason I rated this only two stars is that I bought it to practice welding the tubing for my fuselage, which is small diameter thin wall. Unfortunately the grab bag (2) contained mostly large diameter thick wall tubing a lot of weight, but not very useful if that is your desire, luck of the draw.
