What's Your Go To Metal Supply Place?

I need to get some 1.25" OD metal tube, not a bunch.....just a couple feet for a project. 

Anyone have a good place for something like that?  Closer to east county/south bay is better for me.

IMS in Kearny Mesa. Plenty of scraps in the back, - they charge for them, but it's a fraction of the price. It's been years since I was last there, but Handy Metal Mart in National City is closer and MIGHT have something similar.

Another vote for IMS. It's like a candy store for metal.

You may find what you need in the rems section, but you may have to buy 10 feet. Which is better then a full stick.

I'm headed there today.

I have endless 1.5'' OD steel if you could use that?

Thanks, will keep it in mind but I’m repairing something that I need to splice a piece into, it’s 1.25”

I usually just search for the bands on Pandora and it makes pretty good playlists. 
.....taps mic..... "I'll be here all night folks" 

I'll see myself out.

A bit of Iron Maiden gets me pumped up!
