Rating The Toughness

jcovin,

No need, it feels the same. My question is where do you get equivalent stock to the Red? Crown bolts 5/16" HRS doesn't seem to be as tough as the Red.

RSW,

Isn't the Red CRS instead of HRS ???

That would explain the difference.

:blink

Yeah, but the alloy is also important. Let me know if you come across any 5/16" stock equivalent to Red. In general, the Crown Bolt HRS is pretty tough stuff.

Sears sells 5/16" Plate steel rods in 6 foot lengths.

If you cut it to 7" and bend it, it will only be about 10% easier than an IM RED. Once you can fully bend this, you should be abe to kink the RED. :bow

If you can't quite bend the plate steel at 7", you can always cut a longer piece and work your way down. LOL
