The HF wire any good

[Flexibel_kampfe]

I know the spool that came with my welder sux, but is the regular wire any good? It has good marks on their reviews...

The difference in cost for the 10lb spools is a cool $12... and just to check, the 90amp flux... can run a .035 spool, right?

i went to lowes and bought the lincoln welding flux wire for mine, its a little bit better IMO

 

[bajagokart]

Meh I like Lincoln wire better. When you're checking the feed with Lincoln wire you can just snap the wire with your hands to the desired length =D

Yeah it snaps easy, but also kinks easy in the the feeder. Watch your feeder so that it isnt in tight coils with this big of wire or it likes to jam up.

I used the Lincoln .035 till I got my tank. It is decent wire, and a lot better than others I have used in the past.
