I can only advise against purchasing this rod. At the bar a little rust can be seen. The thread for unscrewing the ends is very fine, so you have to turn an eternity. Really firm does not get the bar also. We wanted to go via the supplied screws to fix the rod. Unfortunately, a screw, the cross is closed at the top - faulty production. Clear reasons for the return and therefore absolutely not advise !!! Only annoying that the shipping alone has already cost 7.90. Remains to be seen whether this will also be refunded.
