The metals market prices have been skyrocketing.
We are trying very hard to keep our prices low and are pursuing other vendors at this point.
We can't believe how much these prices have went up, even just in the last year.
NOTICE! - All lead products should be handled carefully. Ingestion or inhalation of fumes or particles released through processing could cause lead poisoning. Absorption of lead may result in damage to the blood and neurological system. Use only with adequate ventilation. Use NIOSHI approved respiratory protection.
