BBTO Graphite Stir Rod Stick Crucible Stir Rod Long Carbon Stirring Rod Graphite Crucible Stir Stick for Melting Casting Refining Gold Silver Copper, 12 Inch Length, 5/16 Inch Diameter (3)

All 3 pieces came perfectly intact and had Bubble mailer and a nice solid box. Idk how others have broke, maybe mine was lucky. I did snap 1 in half to test the durability (and I needed a shorter stick), it was pretty tough. Almost like snapping a pencil. The pieces are worth it.

The graphite stir sticks work well, but they all arrived broken. The box they are shipped in is not sturdy enough for the shipping. The only option was a refund and return, no replacement, so I decided to keep them since they still have one section that is long enough for small crucibles

Long and fragile. I do wish there was a tapered ebd or maybe even a spoon shape, but the work well for what they are. Though they are brittle, and even a slight bump or tap can snap them.
