38 mm rod is pretty difficult to cut with either circular cutters or nippers. It's even more Difficult when you're trying to get them all exactly 2.5 inches long.

If I did not have access to a cutter, I would measure and score the rod using a file and then break them into blanks. I find that if I buy a sealed case, the rod is much cleaner without any scratches and dings then I used to get when I asked the retailer to cut to length.
