A Maintenance Pack of 4043 and 5356 and A15 is less than a tenner. Stainless is a little more at 316l is £16.75 and 309 is £20.50. All the prices quoted are for 1.6mm See Weldequip for more info

So to have a broad range of rods that will cover just about any job a DIYer and most small Workshops will ever need will cost around £70.

Hardly a lot of money.


Welcome to the forum by the way. More on TIG welding can be found here

Along with a comprehensive list of rods, for every occasion here

I remember a very pleasant weekend in Chard in 1985. It was a friends' wedding and he was from down that way.

My understanding has always been that Land Rovers were first built from aluminium alloy not because it was in surplus, but that steel was very much in shortage. And to build the Land Rovers they had to ensure most went for export as we were desperate for foreign exchange having bled dry during the war.
