Hobart 770458 6011 Stick Welding Electrode, 3/32 Diameter, 10lbs Review

Again buying Revain tools because it's cheaper and quicker than going to the store. These sticks work well and will burn on light metals.

The possibilities of steel making are endless, with these rods I have built steel beams from old bed frames, the top beam of the chain link fence and the steel sheet of the wall. I also made firewood shelves from an old shop window and scrap metal from a landfill.

Best stick for rusty or galvanized steel. Can work on AC or DC+ machines. Size 3/32 is perfect for a 110VDC+ inverter machine that plugs into any standard outlet. If you try to use 1/8 rods, the welds will get cold (will not weld through) because the 110v outlet just doesn't have enough power.

I've read that this is usually a problem with Hobart 6011 bars. I've used Lincoln 1/8" 6011 rods and they work much better. I will be using them for a while as I weigh 10 pounds!

I bought these sticks specifically for the plastic container they come in because the worst thing that can happen to sticks is that they absorb moisture. So what do I find when I open the box? The plastic container is torn and has a quarter-sized hole. And then, to make the injury worse, someone taped the hole up thinking it would fix everything because everything is fine now. So much for keeping dry!

I have a small 90A 120V welder that I like for its ease of use, portability and convenience . However, he is very picky about what he will burn because in truth he is a little too weak. I've had no luck with 1/8" and was able to get good penetration with 3/32 7018 when I had a great power supply, but after trying them it was pretty obvious that this was my best rod for this little welder They burn nice and hot so I can get good penetration and the 6011 is great for spot repairs that aren't…

Does what I need. I've only been welding on weekends and after work for a few months now and still use 1/16 6011. I don't use 1/16 very well, too flexible (me and rods). I was surprised at how much penetration I got with 3/32, but then again, they should. The slag separates quite easily, and of course the hotter the surface, the easier it is. For some odd reason, I find the 7018 electrode to be the easiest electrode to use, so I figured it was time to look at the 6010 and 6011 electrodes. I…
