Default Poly pipe glass storage

I gave up on the PVC pipe after cutting 10 lengths (it was really hard, took ages and was going to take about 35 years to fill the milk crate).
Today I tried irrigation poly pipe and it's a dead set winner! 25mm x 25m for $25 = 80 sleeves, i can cut it with the pruning shears or large secateurs, the slight bend off the roll holds the rods secure (1/4 to 1/2 pound in each) so I don't need an end on it and it's thinner walled than the pvc so more fits in ...

Used one of these to cut a hundred prices of schedule 40 two inch PVC pipe with great success for glass rod storage. Was fast, easy and efficient.
