Blank question
I picked up 3 blanks the other day and was wondering if people here could tell me a bit about the blanks ratings.
Cosmotech CTB80KG-7
Kennedy Fisher X8308
Third blank I was told is a Kennedy. Coloring same as the marked blank. This one is 9 foot 2 piece. It has an odd ferrule connection.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

It all started last year during a terrible thunderstorm, when I locked myself out of the house. Shelving myself with a large piece of sheet metal, I ran for cover under the tallest tree I could find!
