Buck, I went to Lowes and indeed those rods are 1/2" however they are UL listed so whoever turned it down here should not have. There is a UL sticker on the rod however it is about 8" down from the top of the rod.
I complained at Lowes about the fact that they are selling them as 5/8"X8' rods when in fact they are 1/2" rods. We'll see if they do anything about it. They were very appreciative that I brought it to their attention. Unfortunately those labels are made at the Home Offices so they would have to get all stores to change.
FWIW the rods are made by Galvan Industries out of Harrisburg, NC
OMG........:ashamed1:I've been driving my ground rods upside down..........
BTW....if I mount a duplex receptacle horizontally.....should the ground slot be to the right or the left?
