I got a box of them the last time they had them here in Ireland and I found them to be a very nice rod. No idea if the ones they have now are any good though.Anyone tried the 2.5mm arc rods? I did a bit of searching and no mention if lidl are any good.
Keep them "dry" in a sealed container if you have one, or make up a PVC tube with caps.I bought a pack of the rods today. I hope to have a go tomorrow, but I’ve NEVER stick welded before so I’ll be no judge of whether they’re any good or not.
Possibly, but in everything else that they do, that does not seem to be their philosophy.They are going to be very variable. They will buy them from the cheapest supplier they can.
The duel magnets are VERY powerful. a bit too much I think
Their very cheap fluxcore mig wire was very well rated.
Keep them in a plastic bag, take out of the bag & shake it or replace.It's a heck of a job cleaning off all the iron filings though.
