JPWH 5,288 #2 Posted August 30, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,141 #3 Posted August 30, 2015 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
