Carbonized Steel Rods For Welding Hitch Holes
David Shaeffield, Repair Tech, 1434 E. Benge Rd., Fort Gibson, Okla. 74434 (ph 888 478-4558): "I have come up with a valuable set of tools that can be used for a variety of different things. I sell sets of carbonized steel rods through Repair Tech that can be used when welding hitch holes and a number of other applications. These carbonized rods are made of the same material that is used in the space shuttle heat shield. This means they can withstand temperatures up to 4,000 degrees, so they won't stick to welds and will keep the holes open."The rods come in sets of 13 or 17, ranging from 1/8-in. to 2 1/2-in. in diameter. Both sets come in a carrying case. The 13-rod set costs $79 and the 17-rod set is $199."
