Review on Hobart 770466 6013 Stick Welding Electrode, 3/32-5lbs by Chef Deane

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as good as Forney

I am a beginner welder with TIG and Welding (SMAW), I have enough experience to build my projects. Used a Forney 3/32 "E6013" with great success. Walked out thinking Hobart was an established name in the business, ordered and looking forward to using them. Big mistake, just ordered a Forney Rush. Hobart rod, different This rod is the same diameter and type E6013 Forney rod, has a very difficult ignition time. Increasing the current by 10 amps did not help. The stick sticks easily over and over again. It appears to be more aggressive and spatters more and looks more like E6011. those bad qualities, has a softer arc, rarely gets stuck in a puddle, and will happily use Hobarts again on another project without prejudice, but now I'm going back to Forney.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
