great

What can I say it’s a welding rod no problem accept setting my amps on my welder that’s my fault : all good

6011 is a great all-around rod. Blasts through paint, rust, and dirt(to a point). Great for out in the weather where a gas shielded welding process isn't an option. With proper technique, both relatively thick and thin metal can be welded effectively, especially if you can run downhill on thin metal. 6010 will do all of this, but 6011 will run on AC and on inverter machines that frequently will not run 6010. 6011 truly is a great all-around rod. These 1/16" rods do all of the above, they're just optimized for thinner material. Also great for running on smaller limited amperage machines, or where a standard 120v plug in is all that's available, or on limited generator power. You wouldn't want to make serious structural repairs with this rod, but sometimes you're in a jam and all you need is to get a quick repair done so that work can continue until the end of the shift. Being able to carry a tiny 120v lunchbox inverter welder on site, plug it into whatever power outlet is available, and make that repair quickly and easily can be worth a whole lot. Every facility maintenance tech should have a box of these around.

Hobart makes commercial welders so I figured their welding rods are the best, so I order them, and yes they are smooth and great, I chose the 1/8” because of the thin metal that I was welding, but it worked great too. It’s been a long time since I welded but these did a great job for me.
