Workable
I am by no means a pro at welding, but these rods work well for me.

Pretty dang amazing rod -- SO EASY to use!
I am really impressed with these. I've been welding (all forms) for about 35 years and wanted to try these on a little dual voltage DC* inverter type welder I got for repairs where there is 110-120 volts only. Two wonderful things really surprised me about these rods: (1) they flow and penetrate beautifully even at 90 amps on the little welder, and (2) restricking is very easy -- almost unheard of on 7018's. I'd recommend this rod without the slightest hesitation. *This AC rod works just great on DCEP (the electrode/stinger/rod holder is attached to the + on your machine). If curious, the particular dual voltage (works automatically with 110 OR 220 v) welder I happen to use is the low cost AHP160ST.

AC welding rod 3/32" 5 lb
AC welding rod 3/32 5 lb. Husband says rod welded really nicely. Worked as it should. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All of my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I am not influenced by any outside source. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers- ever. For some reason our shopper ranks are no longer visible - so, to give you a little more info about me, I am a top 50 reviewer (#30 the highest rank achieved). Those numbers used to fluctuate over time - up and down but I noticed that they stopped updating regularly - perhaps to phase them out. It's a shame because it did help you see who has been around the longest and who is a trustworthy reviewer. I've been doing reviews for over 25 years with Amazon - nearly 6,000 reviews posted, viewed over 50,000 times, and over 24,000 likes. I pay for all my stuff, just like you do.

Great rod!
Just got back to stick welding, have used wire for 30+ years. Got a new welder for stick since I had farm equipment to fix/rebuild. Got a 3 way 120/240 from HF, and picked up their brand of 5/32" 7018. Hard to strike basically a pain. Got these rods, so much better. Running about 120a for the rods and 1/2" plate seems pretty good. Also learned hit your metal with a flapper and give it a good buff but apparently that's a requirement for the 7018's. Just placed a 2nd order for another 5 lbs to finish up another project.

Good price.
Nice for what I do around the garage. I'm still trying to learn. I got the metal to weld together so I'm sure a pro could do a lot more with these than I can.

Buy direct from forney!
I love the forney brand. I love their customer support. I’ve bought three packages of rods from Amazon and they’re damaged. I recommend purchasing direct from forney.
