Compatibility, Size and Fit
Check that the sight hole accepts a 1 mm diameter rod and that the 25 cm length suits the intended fit. The set offers three colours, with two rods of each colour.
Setup and Correct Use
The stated fitting steps are to put the fibre into the sight hole, heat the end to fix it, then sand the end to finish. The rods need light conditions for use; they do not glow independently.
Before You Decide
Check the sight-hole fit, required rod length and preferred colour. If relying on the rods for visibility, account for the stated need for light conditions.
