What is the diameter of the rod ? Is it 1/2" or is it thicker than that ?

diameter is 1/2". That provides a very sturdy base for hanging. Very happy with this product.

See review dated December 5, 2012 , there it says "The picture does not show how strong this pole is. It is 1/2 inch diameter". I can say this much, when it arrived I was pleasantly 'shocked'. I thought, "wow I have never seen a hook this heavy". It is quite impressive. Like the reviewer I referenced, I did not use the enclosed screws. Hope this helps... Les

I just measured both of mine with a digital caliper, they both were 5.1 inches in diameter. They are very strong.

It is about 2 to 2 1/2 inches. I use mine for Lobster Tail and Crab Legs. It works great.

The thickness of the metal is 1/4" rod. The spacing is center of rod to center of rod 3 5/8". We use ours to hold up chain falls and our large wrenches.

I just measured. The actual diameter is 1 5/8, But I believe it is officially known as 1 1/2 x 1/2.

I returned mine because it was too long. It is made for a 2 piece rod. Diameter was good for any rod.

Its a 1" slip on both ends. The threaded part is 2" long, the tank thickness can be about 1.25".

About 1.5". I've been using mine for a few months so it may start out a bit thicker.

Rod diameter checks at 5mm or per my dial caliper .192 inches. Very nice lever for the money.

T. Riley is correct, except it's closer to 1/2" or .050" diameter because I fitted it into an extension pole. The L bracket leg is close to 1/4" .025". But with that being said, I bought mine at Lowe's.

Its about 2 inches. Might want to look elsewhere, this one is pretty long and thick in diameter.

The finial is 4-3/4" around. Diameter is 1-1/2" (the rod is 3-1/2" around) It is 3/4" from beginning to the end of the finial.

1/2 inch. That is from the part of the mount that is flat against the rail to the bottom part of the curvature of the ring is 1/2 inch.

Approximately 2"Great rod! I researched many before buying this one. Two people to install makes it much easier.

Norma, I am not going to go dig it out of my boat, but it was thicker than I thought. Probably about 3". I was actually pretty impressed when I opened this quality wise. I was just trying to satisfy requirements, but it is pretty nice.

No, it's 1/2", this is the reason I Keep getting another one because so many are much bigger.

It is about 1/4" thick. I used it for the first time last summer in 4 rectangular planter boxes that hang on a wrought iron railing in an uncovered area. I did not need to replace it this year. Hope that helps!

This rod is installed at my other house. I will not be able to provide an exact measurement for about six days. My best guess is 1" at the larger end, and 7/8" at the smaller end (the smaller tube slips into the larger tube to adjust the length).
