Happy Easter everyone

This isn't a particularly critical one, but I need to quickly make a bunch of simple carrying handles using all thread running through aligned pre-existing holes.

The holes are a bit smaller (so the rod will be a bit thinner) than I'd otherwise choose. I can tolerate a bit of flexing while carrying (if necessary) but I'd like to avoid any permanent deformation making the rods difficult to remove later.

What is the stiffest commonly-available threaded rod material? I'm guessing high tensile would be best, followed by stainless, followed by regular (gal or zinc) mild steel stuff - but I'd love to hear from someone who actually knows?!

Cheers
