I have never used it. I have been told several times that it is not as good as say big box stores. Have you used it and is there really a significant difference? I just recently paid 80.00 for a 10 lb roll.

HF is all that I have  used for the 10 years since retiring.   I have found no difference in the quality of my welds now compared to when I was working and using mainly LINCOLN, MILLER,  and ESAB products.
That is to say my welding ability is the controlling factor for me, not the price if the consumable.
The one factor I do stress is to store the wire in a warm dry environment , and to weld inside with no air currents to keep all the cover gas in place when using flux core  wire w/o bottled cover gas.

BTW,  the $13.99 is for a 2 lb spool that normally sells for $19.99.        I do like the 2 lb spools.  I can keep more of my wire sealed.
