The tubing I refer at this price was 5' in length, so you're going to have enough to build about 10 sabers before you need to buy more. I have bought similar tubing at auto parts stores for less, but usually it is only a 1' or 2' in length and the quality is often poorly suited for prop building. This Radio Shack tubing has the nice squared ridges that make it look great as a grip or or a vent.
