You can get 10lbs box for $22 for Vulcans, it bits the price for Hobart for sure

Arm chair experts crying about short sleeves probably never welded in their life.

Harbor freight rods are good I use a lot if I'm low on rods and didn't get to a home depot when I'm working I just leave mine in the hot California sun warms them up a little

the last time I used harbor freight eletrodes in my everlast powerarc was probably 10 years ago. I think they have gotten better since then but I've been using lincoln consumables since then.

I was welding some beads with Hobart 6011 1/8" today and grabbed next electrode and I think WTF why it's so smooth running, I finished the bead and check what it was; it was HF 1/8" running perfectly. I had my Hobart AC/DC welder on AC set for 110amps. Slug comes off harder than Hobart electrodes but non of them were in the oven. The restarts are also easy; no need for banging or scraping the glassy bead.

You should try out the esab atom arc 7018 I've heard good things I'm chomping at the bit to try it myself

Woman welder here. (Hi and thanks for posting this!) Can you do a stress test on these, perhaps in another video? The welds look good, but I think that the true test is whether or not the weld holds up under stress :)

The welding is like lead
I put it on trailer ramp The welding looked good but broke
