ARCCAPTAIN E6013 Welding Rod 3/32" 5LB Carbon Steel Welding Sticks Electrodes, Welding Rods ARC Welding Equipment

Comparable in price and performance to other rods. Arccaptain makes a fine rod. I do like that is comes in a square box. Many other brands uses boxes with rounded edges, or odd shapes. This box will stack well, and fit in standard dimension packs..It lights up good, burns good, and has avg slag.

Nice rods that perform very well with mild steel jobs. The iron coating is very clean with no blemishes, the stackable container is a nice feature, and the price is on-par with rods of similar size.

Once you get the rods burning they were smooth , but l had a very hard time getting the rod’s to strike,I tried both pos. and neg. Polarity..

These 7018 rods seem to weld just like my others. The only 7018's that I've found to be great are the Excalibur rods, but they are very pricey. For your average around the property welding, these have been fine. 7018's are notorious for their restriking properties and these are no different. The welds seem to be just as smooth as my Viking and Hobart sticks. I am not a professional welder so I might not be able to notice the slightest differences, but for someone who tinkers on the side, these weld as I expected. I will update my review should anything change.

A nice 7018 welding rod for a great price. i used these 7018s on mild steel in horizontal and vertical welds and was definitely impressed with them. Easy to strike an arc, hold the arc well, and does a great job a penetration. Slag was super easy to remove with most beads just peeling off!

5 lbs of welding rods. Clean and dry packaging. They seem to burn well and the flux flows smooth. No issues striking an Arc. Using the Esab Rebel welder for them. Recommended for typical carbon steel welding.

Good, fresh rod. Runs as expected, with no particular problems.

Works good and crests a strong weld.
