Questions & Answers

Can I use these in the rain?

There are two tubes I tested. A sink sprayer was used to spray the surface of the cap. It took me opening the tube to let water enter the tube for the first time. A hole was drilled in the cap and water was sucked into it -- Drops here and there. My second tube I tested in the same manner, and the only difference was that I removed the cap a little bit and blew the water away. As soon as I opened it, it was still The caps did not come off on their own, and I have no idea how that happened. By inserting the two wings into the tube, my caps are held firmly in place. It is because of those wings that the tube is watertight.

How well do these hold up to ?

In boiling water, I doubt they would hold up very well. Polystyrene plastic is probably used in their manufacture A polymer begins to disintegrate at 100 degrees Fahrenheit (212 degrees Celsius).

Would I be able to heat them with fire? Would I need to buy a glass test tube for that purpose?

If you plan on heating the glass with the stopper on, use borosilicate glass. Use aluminum foil to cover the tubes in order to prevent them from scorching and to avoid having heat trapped inside.

Can you tell me what size cork lid would fit Are the top holes around 16 mL in diameter?

In the middle is a diameter of 14 millimeters. The column is 54 mm long. An average sample of 3 tubes varies by This is a very small measurement. As for 16 mL, I am not sure where it came into play as mL would relate to volume, Having a cap that can be inserted into the tube is an advantage. Since I do not use tubes for liquid, I cannot attest to their sealing capabilities.

You get 10 packs for the price of 10 The test measure 16x150mm in inch, clear plastic
5/5

The containers that I use to store my scroll saw blades are 5 inches in length. -The blades are secured very well by the top part of the cover, which is made of hard plastic. Following the receipt of my first set, I purchased another set a few weeks later. This is a perfect way to store scroll saw blades up to 5 inches long. My drill press was used to secure the containers to the stand and to drill holes in the self-standing storage unit. In the beginning, I was looking for glass containers, but these satisfied my needs. Purchased them and I am very happy with I bought them because they do what I want them to do.

Our tubes have served their purpose well and we enjoy them
4/5

These test tubes were purchased for housing ant queens in the process of laying eggs. These tubes are pleasing to the eye and they do their job, but they will not fit with the caps. Normally we put cotton balls in tubes to stopper them so they don't require caps, but I cracked the cap when I tried to insert it into a tube. In that case, this listing may not be the one for you if you need the caps. In spite of being shipped in a plastic bag, we did not find any cracks or scratches when we got it.

The number of words I needed was only My travel makeup tools are long, thin, and I needed 2 containers to protect them from damage during transit
5/5

Although I only needed two, I bought an entire set because the bag was large enough for my tools to fit in. Not only do I use the bag for travel, but I store them in it This would have been good to know a long time.

I am disappointed
3/5

So far, I have made two separate purchases for three different packages. It is today that I will stuff them with candy. In the first order, there were only nine Despite the fact that the second order is for 10 tubes, only 9 lids are included. It looks like my third order went through so I will be able to have enough for a party on.

This is a very long and clear statement. This spring, you will be able to catch queen anys with this device. They are so good I just bought them a second time.

It is the perfect tool for storing and protecting your Bona Fide glass nail file
3/5

BUT I've received damaged packaging from them during shipping there is no protection. It has happened to me that one tube has cracked when the rest of them are needed. I have ordered at least six times, and at least half of the time, one product came damaged. It is unlikely that all pieces will break in shipping, there are no broken pieces in one box so it is packaged cracked before sending. I can't help but think that the product is wonderful. In addition to protecting my Bona Fide Czech nail files, I used these to protect the plastic sleeves that came with them. I like the size of them, but there's no need for too much space.

Blades used in scroll saws are an enemy to be feared
4/5

My Excalibur Scroll Saw held them perfectly, so I bought them to fit the "holders. " Because they were poorly packed, two of them broke when they were delivered. It was cheaper to order more than I needed since they were so cheap. As far as I am concerned, they fit and hold saw blades, I am happy. However, I am not happy about the way they were shipped. I can anticipate some damage.
