Review on πŸ”₯ Forney 30705 E7018 Welding Rod, 3/32-Inch, 5-Pound: A Reliable and Versatile Welding Solution by Christian Young

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Neat rod. - Rods

I try to stay away from Forney products not because they are bad but simply because they are average quality and price. Paid $21.43 for a 3/32 5lb box. Not very good, but at the moment I didn't feel like spending more on a large part of another brand. Usually my local supplier is the cheapest and they have Excalibur which is great but they didn't have 3/32. So the product came in a plastic box wrapped in plastic. I used a rod on a rusty muffler and new 16 gauge pipe. I cleaned the sweat area much better than usual. bow was good. any sticking was my fault. nice ball 7018 on 400 series stainless steel. I made another rusty pipe a week later and had no problems with the stem as others have said. I don't heat the chopsticks, I just keep them in a cool aluminum box with an airtight seal. This works like any regular 7018 rod, it's not the best rod I've ever used but is very similar to any rod you'll find in the shop.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
