Oldcastle 24 in. Heavy-Duty Drop Rod, Pewter

These drop rods are poorly designed at best! They are NOT ONLY ridiculously heavy, they are NOT tall enough to be used on a regular basis unless you are ONLY 4ft tall, and even then, they are probably too short for regular use! Their height would have a normal person bending way over to raise them, so that their gate could be opened! And if all that isn't bad enough, the handles are way too short for even the smallest of hands to comfortably use them! I have small hands, and the handles are way too short for me to try to use these poorly designed rods! These are being marketed as Chain Link Fence Drop Rods, but they are NOT that. These are made for some kind of fancy fence, as anyone can see just by looking at the fence pieces that come with them. Everyone is carrying these instead of the ones a person needs for their Chain Link Fence Gates. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE SHAME!!! And a waste of time & money!!!

Heavy duty construction highly recommended. Came with matching color self drilling screws.
