Review on πŸ”₯ Hobart H222106-R19 2-Pound E71T-11 Carbon-Steel Flux-Cored Welding Wire: Powerful 0.030-Inch Option for Precise Welding by Mike Anderson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Functional wire but there are better options

I have used a 2lb Hobart cored wire spool on my Nordic MIG welder twice. Both times I was a bit disappointed. I have found that the Lincoln brand and the cheap Vulcan brand sold by HF work much better. Hobart wire spatters and smokes excessively, making it difficult to see on long welds. It also doesn't seem to penetrate as well as the other brands I've mentioned and tends to have occasional kinks in the reel that are difficult to work around. The price is decent, but for a big brand cable I'm not impressed. Stick to cheap cable from HF or Lincoln, both do a good job with a lot less smoke and spatter.

Pros
  • Welding and Soldering
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
