Noticed the same thing when looking at some on sale at HF a few weeks ago, noted the seam and grabbed one of their drawbars for a test insertion. No go. They used the wrong type tubing for their product,
http://www.allmetalsinc.com/steelsqu...250250238.html It also looked a little thin walled compared to what I usually buy....not sure I'd trust it for high load even if I could get the seam out
On another note- picked up the 10 lb reel of their .035 flux core welding wire. Took it back after using 2 feet of it...stuff was terrible, very porous welds. Tried some name brand I had on a small 2lb reel, welded much better. Now have a 10 lb reel of name brand (Hobart) on the way, found it on the net from a welding supplier even with shipping for less than I can buy it locally.
