This is a great deal on a 20-foot roll of M-D Building Products backer rod. Backer rod is used to fill gaps and provide a sound surface for caulking projects. It is especially helpful in expansion joints in driveways and sidewalks. This backer rod is made of closed cell foam, which is more durable than open cell foam. It is also gray in color, which makes it less visible than white backer rod.
The regular price of this backer rod is $11.99, but it is currently on sale for just $3.48. This is a savings of 70%! This deal is only available for a limited time, so don't miss out!

The deal is valid until 2023-08-19.
The backer rod is made of closed cell foam.
The backer rod is gray in color.
The backer rod is sold by Amazon.

Not a great deal. Do your research. Dont always believe Amazons list price. Exact same item sells for 4.27 at Home Depot.

So if two car dealerships were selling the same exact car for a 19% price difference you'd buy the more expensive one?
WOW..you really missed the boat.

He thinks that Amazons price of 11.99 is normal for this item. My point was that Amazons price is inflated.

Seriously, who only buys 20-ft of backer rod? You can buy 100-ft rolls from local construction supply houses for about $10.

People who don't want to store the 90-ft left over from the one-off project they needed it for.

For those of you that are wondering what you would use this for, it can be used for the following.

Tired of chasing crack weeds in your driveway every weekend?
Use this backer rod to fill the larger gaps and then fill the gaps with a self leveling calk.
Use it to fill large gaps in walls or other areas so you don't have to use so much spray foam to help insulate various locations.

2 stores are selling the same item, one has it in stock and the other has to ship it in, and there was only a $0.79 price difference. Don't clown yourself with a useless analogy when none is needed.
