Ive used wire, 3o years ago, then cable, then rebar rods in the 90s, chain now and couple dozen 10' fiberglass rods. The chain s and fiberglass rods are the best Ive used yet.

That's too bad. I was hoping it was a wire welder with flux cored wire so I could show why you should use gas, but no, its not bad for a stick welder!

I want the wire welder with gas. Flux core sucks, lol.

If I use the 6013 it looks great, but I don't always trust the weld. The washers break loose on my washer topped rebar stakes when I use 6013, but it looks nice. 6011 and 7018 make my strongest welds. I'm shakier than a hoor in church and I stay in one place too long when I'm welding sometimes.
