Review: Really good rods at great price. - Really nice welding rod, lays down a good steady bead , Good control over the ark and doesn't stick as much as other rods do.great price and fast shipping. the fit the ease of use are perfectly fine they are brighter than some of the others but that is probably because the flux coating is less than others but this also prevents the ack from going out and it doesn't stick or stop as others can. Overall a really goodwelding ropd one of the better ones I have used IMHO.
