Is this tubing very rigid? I want to use it for the tube on a fly tying bobbin.

The tubing is quite rigid. It does not bend or kink easily. I don't have the means to measure a quantifiable quantity to rigidity, but it definitely would take some effort to bend.

It is rigid, but the challenge is the top hanger portion snaps off easily. Both of mine are broken.

It has a swivel-barb fitting adapter that let you connect 1/2" I.D. flexible high pressure hose to it with a clamp. You are not supposed use rigid connection to it.

The ring is pretty rigid as it is made of metal; however I found that the hinged sections of the ring lost their strength over time. I would often take a swing at an insect only to have the ring partially collapse. If you only plan on using this net gently or for a short period of time I don't think you should have many problems.

It appears to be heavy-gauge tubular steel, but suggest you contact company for more particulars. I found this email address on the AquaSense website: info@myaquasense.com I can tell you I wouldn't want to be whacked on the head with this. It's more than sturdy! Hope this helps.

It's semi-rigid. I can twist it a little. If I hold it in front of me, I can pull the ends towards me so it bends about 2 inches. It is not completely rigid or brittle. It's thick enough that the dogs would never be able to break through it. I have 3 German Shepherds. I hope that helps.

Yes it is. Just a note of caution. This is a very heavy inner tube. Most definitely robust and resistant to puncture, but at a weight penalty.

I do not have the specific specifications but it is very rigid tubing, it can be bent but it takes quite a bit of effort... We use these with a flexible tube to connect the coil to the tap.

Is it flexible at all? I want to bend it around a gentle curve, maybe equivalent to a 10-foot diameter circle.

It is rigid, but not as thick as PVC. It is thinwall plastic tube. It will be okay for a cane, but it won't hold a lot of weight. We used it to make glow in the dark batons for relay for life.

It is solid, it does not spin freely relative to the rest of the fitting. To screw it on you must turn the entire fitting.

It's rubber, but reinforced so it's fairly rigid. You should expect it to coil into approx. 18" dia. loops.

I've only used it straight. I expect you would have to go slow to preserve a shape over a lot of cuts because the wire is just that- not very rigid!

Most high pressure hoses are stiff and well built to handle the job they are designed for. This one is no different. It does coil up nicely when finished with the task. Might not be as small a coil as you'd like, but it's ok. Consider using cord/hose wraps to hold the stored coil to the size you'd like.

Yes, it is not stiff at all as mentioned in another comment. In the normal filtering cycle in my hot tub, the jets turn on a few times a day and the blanket immediately gets pushed into the corner so it does no good. I bought it in part because a comment in this forum said it was stiff plastic and didn't move around. Unfortunately, I did not install it in time to return it for a refund or I would have done that.

It's rigid, but jointed and twists from straight to 90-degree angle. Hope this helps.

Yes, in it's default state it is very stiff. You may actually have trouble getting it straight enough for making pushrods because of the natural curve of the wire its packaging. Since the wire is high carbon steel, it should respond well to annealing and re-hardening if you are willing to put that much work into it.
