How long will rods last?

[Stuartg1]

Im clearing the garage and have found 2 packs of bohler rods
6013 which is open and a few are missing
And a longer box of the same, but unopened, are they going to be usable or should I chuck them in the bin?
Cheers

They should be fine, 6013 isn't fussy as far as I know. If they haven't been kept in the dry, chuck them in a tupperware with some dessicant for a while?

Id bung them in an electric oven to dry, then store in a warm dry place and use them….for every day pit work jot high spec stuff

Thanks guys, they're of no use to me, I'll put them on the freebies section
