Terrible Quality Stainless Welding Tool!

Through trial and error, I found that this tool was a complete waste of money. The welds produced were subpar and the tool itself felt flimsy and easily breakable.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Poor quality, flimsy build

Excellent single pass welding rod. Tuff is like a boot and jumps on easily!

Excellent rod for single pass welds. Easiest rod I've ever used to start an arc. Really hard slag! It is difficult to remove the slag in multiple passes. Great general purpose stainless steel bar for use on most metals. Very hard filler metal. Not brittle at all.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Not sure

Wands for Sticks

Stick Welding's Best Kept Secret! Anyone and their mother can handle these things. More expensive than your typical 60xx or 70xx electrode, but who cares if you're not burning a pound of rod every day. For your typical hobby or DIY craft, the 312-16 model will suffice. Do yourself an extra favor and try 1/8" bars. They work great, even on my toaster sized 120 volt box (Amico DC-160A, blue).

Pros
  • Free for Educational Purposes
Cons
  • Lots of
