Tight-Tolerance High-Speed M2 Tool Steel Rods
- Yield Strength: 105,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell B110 (Hard)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C66
- Specifications Met: ASTM A600
Also called drill rod, these precision-ground rods have a tight diameter tolerance and are held to a strict straightness tolerance. Use them for turning applications in your lathe. M2 tool steel offers a nice balance of wear resistance and machinability. It has a high molybdenum content, which allows it to maintain sharp cutting edges even at elevated temperatures.

Oil-Hardening O1 Tool Steel Rods
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)
Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these precision-ground rods have a tight diameter tolerance and are ready for turning in your lathe. They’re also known as drill rod. Use them to make dies, punches, and gauges. O1 tool steel is an oil-hardening material that resists wear and abrasion.

Air-Hardening A2 Tool Steel Rods
Precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in your lathe. They’re also known as drill rod. A2 tool steel is more wear resistant than O1 and it keeps a sharper cutting edge. This air-hardening material is widely used for punches, broaches, and dies.
- Yield Strength: 55,000 psi
- Hardness: See Table
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C62

Corrosion-Resistant Wire Rope—Not for Lifting
Choose this stainless steel wire rope for outdoor and washdown applications. This wire rope provides a good balance of abrasion resistance and flexibility. Individual wire strands are preformed to maintain their shape and prevent rope from unraveling when cut. Lubricated rope reduces wear.
18-8 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance.
Difficult-to-Bend Corrosion-Resistant
Wire Rope—Not for Lifting
Often used as bracing and guy wires, individual strands are thick solid wire for a stiff construction. Choose this stainless steel wire rope for outdoor and washdown applications. Individual wire strands are preformed to maintain their shape and prevent rope from unraveling when cut. Lubricated rope reduces wear. Extra-lubricated wire rope has an additional coating of lubrication for added wear and corrosion resistance.
18-8 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance.
Adjustable-Loop-to-Twin-Hook Lanyards—Not for Lifting
Use the twin hooks to suspend items from two points and use the loop to secure the suspended material. For use with cable trays or signs.
Adjustable-Loop-to-90° Eye Lanyards—Not for Lifting
Attach the 90° eye to a surface for support and use the loop to secure the suspended material.
Adjustable-Loop-to-Stud Lanyards—Not for Lifting
Attach to a threaded anchor or hole for support and use the loop to secure the suspended material.
