BOSCH CST/berger 06-813 13-Foot Aluminum Grade Rod in Feet, Tenths and Hundredths

I just received this and haven't used it in the field yet, but my first impressions are:1) it's good and sturdy - no flimsiness and no play2) construction seems to be solid - no flaws whatsoever3) the coating and numbers seem to be of good quality and should last4) the measurement markings are accurateShipping was fast and the packaging protected the device when the delivery guy dropped it out the back of his truck. I would buy again, but it doesn't look like I'll need to for a while. Field work tomorrow. If something goes wrong with it I'll amend this review.

A year ago I tore out an old railroad tie monstrosity from the front of our house and built a concrete landscape unit retaining wall / edging stucture to enclose a planting bed. For my DIY-level purposes the CST-Berger grade rod, along with my Stabila LMR laser level, served me very well. I have other applications coming up, but it's already paid for itself.

Built very well. A lot nicer than I expected

Quality product

Easy to extend and the numbers are easy to read. You should keep it protected if you do a lot of bouncing around in your vehicle because it does get dinged up., but that's my fault.. How's that socalguy?

SOLID PRODUCT

I bought this to extend a radio antenna higher so I could get a signal and it works for that, I would guess it works fine on what it was intended for.

I have had better quality but these will do a great job.happy with purchase and hope they don't disappear.
