I bought this around the second week of April and just needed to use it now. I installed it in my welder and tried to use it. The wire could not be felt and kept hissing and spattering. I walked a few meters and tried different settings to get it working. I spent several hours fiddling with my welding machine trying to figure out what was wrong and several hours grinding down the welds I wanted to make with this wire. I ended up going to the local shop and bought another spool of wire and surprisingly it worked perfectly. I have purchased this cable before and it has worked well. That's why I bought this LAST roll. I won't spend my money on that again. I'm stuck with this now as the return window has expired and I'm running out of money, wasted time and materials.
