Just 'cause the electrodes cost less, doesn't mean worse results.
I much, much, MUCH rather have 5pounds of Lincoln electrodes at Home Depot for $14 than have way-overpriced 1pound junk electrodes for $10.50 from Tractor Supply. The TracCo.'s don't melt as completely I guess.The welds seems to clump into balls too. ( I still have practicing to do though)
I absolutely love Lincolns electrode quality but only downfall is when you mess up and the electrode sticks to the metal..its sticking pretty good. Noticeably stickier than the Trac Supp. Which tells me the welds are pretty dang good. Much freaking better then trac supply crap electrodes. and no weld balls either !

The other 3 sides were done with Hobart. They were not pretty.
I do know a few things. and one if them is....My parts aren't breaking at the welds! hahahaha
