Oddly, they also sell "Bendable Copper Tube" in the same sizes, same alloy, and same wall thickness. Different heat treating maybe?
(I've never set foot inside a Hobby Lobby, for reasons I can't/won't discuss here. Other hobby stores are rare here.)
If I avoided all the places with whose politics I disagree, I'd starve, not have any clothes, nor any utilities, not ever buy a car, and certainly wouldn't be able to engage in 90% of my interests.
Be that as it may, one of my Hobby shops I use is in Burbank (which is not really close to you)...Burbank House of Hobbies.
Actually I have never bought metal from them, even tho they carry K&S products.
What they have (which most hardware places do not have, not even most hobby stores in the sizes I needed) is machine screws, nuts and washers in #3 and smaller sizes.
I have hardware (and taps) in size 3,2,1,0, and 00, both coarse and fine thread.
You cannot get those sizes especially 0 and 00 at McMaster or McFeely or Fastenal, only some places online that sell "micro hardware".
Re: Bendable copper.... it has been annealed. So I'm guessing the rigid tubes have not been annealed. (Duh.... my powers of deduction are amazing )
