I was skeptical also, but at $3.69 for ten
feet of conduit, I figured I could try.

After first use, it seems strong enough,
and a metal file rounded off all the sharp
edges easily.

If you wanted stronger you could splurge
on 1" diameter, $5.59 for ten feet.

I flattened the ends with a hammer,
before drilling holes and cutting
the slot with my *new* Bosch jigsaw :)
The conduit is light in weight and it
even floats.
