It is primarily made with steel. It is NOT a brazing rod. My fault for not reading the detailed description. Giving them 5 stars because they are fine gas welding rods. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pro product. *by T***G on September 15, 2020* Works well. Will order more when I run out. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/26460428-forney-42340-copper-coated-brazing-rod-1-8-inch-5](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/26460428-forney-42340-copper-coated-brazing-rod-1-8-inch-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-01*
