Review on Hobart 770476 7018 Stick Welding πŸ› οΈ Rod, 3/32-10 lb.: Superior Performance for Metal Fabrication by Michael Ward

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good for welding

I ordered them and at first I thought they were too thin but in the end they turned out to be very good for my metal 2-6mm thick. Keep them warm in an oven at around 100C and make sure the positive and negative leads are positioned correctly and they start better and give you a better weld. I used around 100A for 2.5mm and up and then around 30-60A. depending on the position thinner. When you stop with the pole, I just tap a non-conductive surface like cement or a non-critical piece of metal to reignite the spark (don't tap too hard or you'll shatter the screen. But you work). much better than the 7016s sold in local shops here.

Pros
  • Country of origin: China
Cons
  • thin
