Even behind locked doors, the unseen threats of moisture, rust, rot, mildew, and mold jeopardize your guns. Locking your guns up only takes a moment, and it only takes one extra moment to insert dehumidifying rods into their barrels. Hornady has a new one, called the Hornady Dehumidifier Rod HD, and it provides nearly double the protection of traditional dehumidifying rods.

Yes, that's important, because cleaning and oiling your firearm is only partial protection against the elements ... even when those elements are limited to the interior of your gun safe. Effective moisture control is essential to prolong the life of steel, wood, and other materials. Hornady developed the Dehumidifier Rod HD to protect valuables and firearms from the damaging effects of humidity.

Powered by a standard 110V AC outlet, these rods use innovative heat-dispersing fins to maximize heat transfer without taking additional storage space or causing damage to nearby surfaces. This advanced design ensures consistent and efficient moisture reduction, keeping the interior of safes and cabinets dry.

Built to integrate with the Hornady Square Lok organizing system but easy to install in many other applications, the Dehumidifier Rod HD is offered in 18” for up to 200 cubic feet and 36” for up to 500 cubic feet. MSRP $25.99; shop Store.Hornady.com
