INETUB BA71TGS .030-Inch on 2-Pound Spool Carbon Steel Gasless Flux Cored Welding Wire (4-(Pack))

I can't compare this to other brands as this is my first time flux core welding but produces a clean weld with easily removed slag. Have extensive stick welding use but all in a DIY caspacity. Just starting off usung flux core. Attached photo is first test. Still learning the new welder. The fact that is a good product and reasonable cost I will only use this. No reason to go elsewhere.

I had been using Lincoln or Hobart flux core wire for years and always had problems with the arc dying, inconsistent heat penetration, and the welds looking like a kid did them. I had thought it was me but no matter how hard I tried I could not get consistent welds. After reading about problems with Lincoln or Hobart, I saw this and decided to try it. The INE is cheaper for 2 lbs than 1 lb is at Lowes. I got this wire and I was flabbergasted at how much better this wire welds. All of my welding problems went away. The arc is so consistent that I have to tell myself to rest for fear of exceeding the duty cycle of my welder (Lincoln 140). The weld quality comes out excellent and the penetration is perfect. I will never buy Lincoln or Hobart wire ever again.

I probably don't know enough to hate this stuff. Worked quite well, I used it to learn to weld. I'm going to go back to the Hobart stuff when this roll is done just for a comparison.Edit: After comparing with some Hobart wire, this stuff is great! WAY less splatter and the Hobart wire seems to want more heat. It's hard to explain. It seems like the puddle is always larger and more fluid using this stuff vs the Hobart wire. Anyway, for a newbie hobbyist with a 110v welder, I'm sticking with this stuff.

I own a Harbor Freight 90 Amp-AC, 120 Volt, Flux Cored Welder ran on a dedicated 30 amp breaker. I ran 4 lbs of INE, 6 lbs of Hobart, 1 lbs of Lincoln, and 4 lbs of Chicago Electric in the last 6 months on projects like fire pits and non-structural repair work. I'm not impressed with the welders duty cycle but INE wire burns better through it than Lincoln, Hobart and Chicago Electric. I'm sure these brands run better in other, higher amp, better quality machines but in mine INE runs the best. When I can't run INE, Hobart is my go to because of price, and its decent. I did have one INE spool that wasn't wound correctly and it wouldn't feed. I just snipped the wire fixed the spool (instead of being on top the wire was underneath another), I only wasted about 6 ft.

very low splatter on my Harbor Freight welder, Blue Demon is much better but Amazon was out at the time. This stuff has excellent penetration but failed a bend test every time on 1/2".For general garden art and what not it is a good by and welds look decent. Definitely not for structural.I would by again to basic stuff to save on premium wire. If your using a 110 HF welder by this in .23 for excellent control of the bead. In my 220 this works good.

2 weeks ago I attempted to weld for the first time with the wire that came with my new welder. It was splatter city. I hooked up this spool and it is night and day difference. So much cleaner and easier to work with. I had no idea wires could be so different. Will buy again.

Welds smoothly with minimal spatter. Does not stick when starting, easy starts. Works almost as if I'm using gas for MIG welding. Lots simpler and cheaper for simple household welding repairs or projects. Smooth bead.

When you get to welding with this wire, it is fantastic. The problem is getting to that point. My wire unspooled as soon as I got it out of the box it came in. I had to cut off a good 4 feet to untangle the mess it made. It was still a bird nest when I loaded it in my welder, but it at least wasn't bound up any more. Quality control is lacking. This is a sign of the wire being twisted as it is wound so no tension is being released
