Yes. It was a lot more than I needed. I used up only about 2-3 lbs of
the rod on my trailer.
I am also very satisfied with this rod, I think that it is called
Washington Alloy.
I looked up McMaster-Carr and found out that they sell 1/8" 7018 for
5.70 per 1 lb, or 14.45 per 5 lb. A little more expensive (about
twice), but also acceptable.
If you have a small project requiring 7018, it would probably make
sense to just buy 1 lb of rod at your local supplier for 5 bucks or
whatever.
