I am a Hobart guy over Excalibur it just runs awesome. I use mostly 1/8” though. Cool comparison
@AJ's Iron Works,
I finally came across someone that knows his welding rods!,...Hobart consumables both stick and dual-shielded tubular wire here!,...Regards from S. TX.
@@fredramos9206 awesome man!!!! Glad I’m not the only one.
@@ajsironworks3937
👍🤝!!
I'm an Excalibur guy I have ran a few hobarts to me they just seem a little watery
Hobart runs like butter i love it over excaliber
They all look good since a good welder knows how to control and cover for the imperfections of an unruly electrode where as a beginner would show many more noticeable weaknesses in each brand...I worked with Lincoln excalibur rods of all sizes at work before retirement and was very happy with them since they were bought for us and now when doing projects on my own I go to Harbor freight for the Vulcan brand and really can't tell you any differences in the two.
Been welding since 1965, and I rank Hobart and Lincoln as the tops. Ran a lot of Murex in the '70s and it is also a very good rod.
The way I have stored my Low Hyd. rod for years now is with mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. I put a soft cloth around the electrode holder end of the rods to prevent puncturing the bag when the absorber sucks the bag down tight. I use oversize bags so I can reseal them and use them several times.
You can’t pick a weld by how it looks on the outside. You have to cut it open and etch it. Or, do a bend test on three samples to average your welds out. Not saying that ESAB isn’t good, it’s some of the best, but great looking welds aren’t always the best welds.
Esab still going strong such a wide range of products all seem to be extremely good or the best especially in my opinion keep the vids coming
i like their rods alot
I'm concerned that the later rods had the advantage due to the rise in the metal temperature. It would be best to have separate tokens to try welding to force each one to work on cold metal.
Good video, I’ve used a lot of the Blue Demon 7018 and am surprised how well it runs for the price point.
it did run nice
IME with the esab vacpac vs the vulcan 7018s. The esab really outshines the vulcan when ran in every position but flat.
I had trouble striking an arc with the Vulcan when it was cold. Once I had started welding it was easy to strike an arc while the rod was still hot.
Another good comparison video.. ESAB does look a hair nicer. Thanks
Yep, I like the esab best too. WELD ON!
YOU'RE the second winner! email me your top two choices! once the first winner picks ill let you know which one youll get
mcfwelding@gmail.com
Best rod I have used yet. Was bohler. You should give them a try. Smooth smooth rod
I've seen them I'll try them out
hobart welds like a champ in all types of conditions
I've seen the blue demon rods and been wanting to try them.
Recently started mobile welding and enjoy watching your videos
go make that $$$$
How are you getting work? Craigslist works a little bit. Got cards made magnetic car signs.
Instagram ! I'm making a video on how I get work soon be on the look out for it
Liking your contetnt so far. I've decided that I will start my mobile welding business in my contry, not a lot of mobile welders here in Spain. Greetings!
Thank you !
Well the Esab surprised me. Most of our welding is with Lincoln. I would think HF gets there rod from one of the big companies. I'll have to try it.
yea ive run lot of hobart it runs good but the esab was butter
Very good, thank you. I have always wondered about ESAB on 6010 and 7018. This is funning because i weld with a ESAB machine. Again thank you
grab some of there rod then it runs nice
Loving the videos man earned a new subscriber the other day I sat down and watched every video you got
really appreciate it!
I subscribed because I like your format and subject matter. I am new to welding and need all the instruction I can get. I bought a little cheap Chinese inverter welder without knowing it's capabilities and limitations. To me 3/32 is a huge rod. I can only run a bead one spot at a time and only if I stop and knock the slag off. I've found it very helpful to see what real pro can do with limited equipment like this and find it very helpful to see amp meter compared to the welder settings. Gives me a better feel for what the equipment actually does.
I’m starting welding as a hobby & learning, thank you for showing this video to get ideas what to use
Surprising stuff, I run the Vulcan for lots of stuff for the convenience of the 2lb size just crack it open and use it all. Kinda goofy starts and restarts with it I've noticed though. Good stuff man.
vulcan wasnt bad i would use it in a bind
Have welded with a lot of the brands shown very impressed with the results been also doing some side work just caught up on your channel much respect keep up the hard work 👊🤙
Thanks !
I run Excaliber, for the most part, and have had the chance to use all of the brands you are showing, with the exception of the Harbor Freight electrodes(have not used them), I have not had any issues with any of them, really.
Question, are you right handed? if so practice starting from left going to the right. You will see a large improvement in your bead appearance.
In 1904, ESAB's founder, Oscar Kjellberg, invented the world's first coated welding electrode.
Elektriska Svetsnings-Aktiebolaget (English: Electric Welding Limited company founded in Gothenburg, Sweden, now a Swedish-American company with head quarters in North Bethseda, MD, USA
I did not know that. Very interesting
I just started my own welding business and your videos are big help. Thanks man
Glad I can help
I like these showdowns. Good stuff man!
I thought they were good videos to make
never heard of the blue demon, we have Radnor out here runs pretty consistent, Hobart is also a great 7018 rod.
awesome comparison!
They are good rod
I pick the ESAB and Hobart. Only use Excalibur and would like to try those 2 when I win 🤙
Winners are picked sorry bud, go pick your self some up online and give them a try!
I prefer conarc 49c but I'll use any rod that I can get my hands on
Pretty cool you did both 6010 and 7018 for comparison. Thanks again for sharing.
only two stick rods anyone ever needs!
Esab atom arc is great I also like the blue demon is great stuff. McKay if you can find it is good. Excalibur sucks compared to those 3
never used mckay
Hobart for me
MCF Welding can you try doing a show case with the Bohler 7018's rods I ran them in college back in 2017 but don't see job s I've worked for use them. They run very smooth like Excalibur's do
Those Vulcan rods are actually pretty good.
Nice work as always keep it going.
I always buy hobart, the plastic boxes fit in my toolboxes just right
I use hobart still it does run nice
I've never fun the Vulcan rods in 7018 mainly the the Home Depot Lincoln and once I had to buy the nightmare called Forney seeing how the Vulcan runs I'll try some on my next trip to Harbor Frieght I've used their 6013 and its kinda iffy sometimes it burns real good and sometimes as bad as Forney
Thanks for a fair comparison of the rod!
keepin it real
Nice welding.
In 1983 I paid $18 to $21 for a 50lb cans of Lincoln LH70 1/8" what happened to the price of electrodes?
Joe Biden's "Bidenomics" is the answer!
Thanks for the the comparison.
Thanks Matt! That was great
i like the idea of comparing the brands, another vid idea for you might be to do the same up/down hill and over head just to see if that makes a difference in the way they perform but all in all cool vid.
Very nice channel, will try ESAB 7018 3/32s. TY
They run smooth
I’m not a weld just looking to learn would be nice if when you do a stick you give a short this is what I use the rod for like the 6010 you said it eats right through the rust which out looking it up I’m guessing 7018 is for cleaned metal that doesn’t have much rust or paint but again I am guessing until I look it up
you should just look up a video on what different types of popular rods do. This video is just a comparison of the same type of electrode....
Lincoln 5 p plus if your in rough areas to weld for long duration
Isn't that like 6010?
Thanks for doing this! I appreciate it!
I like the blue demon mig wire nvr played with thier sticks tho
all i use not is blue demon wire
Their 7014, in 5/64, is especially good. @ 60 amps, starts like a fresh match.
6013 next?
I'm not a big 6013 guy honestly
Really dig the comparison
thanks!
Murex is a lincoln rod if I remember right.
Thanks!
thanks for a great show and tell
Glad you enjoyed Anthony
I say Esab!
I appreciate your videos keep em comin
some of the rods looked like they had more flux than others. Someone may have commented also on this, but I did not see another comment.
I’d like to try the blue demon
It's a pretty nice burning rod
Vulcan is actually not bad for the price in my experience
wasnt bad at all
I liked the video. I forgot about esab products
they have great welding rods
ESAB Atom Arc every time!!!! They really nailed it!!! Also.... There are 7018's that aren't Low Hydrogen rods. May be why some of those weren't in sealed packaging. Good vid Man!!!
I'm not sure if you mentioned it or not, what amps are you running these?
he showed it, it was 85
Blue Demon
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 keep up the vids bro🎯
Keep up the great work
What about forney?
Didn't even think to get those. I have not heard good things about Forney though
Agreed the harbor freight run way way better.
Their 6011 is easier to handle, than, say, Lincoln’s.
can you do a video on welding lenses and what you use because i got a pipeliner welding helmet recently and i got a 20$ shade 9 green lens and its too bright but on my old welding helmet i have a shade 9 gold and it doesn’t hurt my eyes so i switched to that. eventually i want to get an auto lense what do you think is a good one to get
Lincoln 4c technology is incredible. Same quality as the old Lincoln supervisability set shades
@@dawsonwelborn6300 ive seen vids on those having bad battery life i was thinking about the weld beast one
i will do a video on that. i like that idea. Buy Ameri-arc welding lense thats what i use
@Bryce Todd Check out my latest video!
@@mcfwelding
i did thanks for the video
Great video.
Great video. Keep it up.
Thanks man, been fun to watch your channel blow up!
Fork is a little late for the giveaway, but loved the video
I've got to try esab products it seems noone really uses there stuff.
It's good stuff, in my opinion...
I learned how to weld on ESAB products.
And it's still the most used rods around many shops here (Denmark).
i like there stuff alot, lot of big companies i work for use them because they are cheaper then lincoln and run as good if not better
Have you done underwater welding before?
nope
@@mcfwelding If you ever do plzzz do a show are if you can find a friend do show just started welding love all the help you've been given 💯
@MCF welding you know of anyone selling an engine drive welder? I'm about an hour and half from Philly probably not to far from you...
I actually will be selling my lincoln ranger 8 like very soon. email me and we can talk
mcfwelding@gmail.com
No Forney rods!? Dang! I heard they're the worst.
Forney are great rods for cheap
Depends on *which* Forney rods.
Their 6011 is the tamest one I’ve tried - calmer than Lincoln’s.
Wonder about their 6013 some, too - might be a domestic *Rutile-Cellulose* rod, like some they have in Europe.
Murex is a brand sold by Lincoln these days....
good to know, do they sell it here in the states?
@@mcfwelding I am not sure where they market it, but it is in the Welding Consumables Catalog C1.10 from Lincoln...1/8 50lb can is edm13182834 [Murex b7018 mr] .....Murex 7018 MR is edm13187184 1/8 50 lb.....hope this helps find out where you can get...welded tensile strength is 74 to 83 KSI.....as welded ...cheers, Paul
Good to know because I really like how it welds
Hands down esab makes the best filler metals I absolutely love the Hobart 418 metal can not plastic and there dual shield flux core wire it's the best
Esab does run nice
Are you a southpaw?
a new jersey southpaw? im not sure lol
@@mcfwelding are you left handed?
Righty
Who won the rods? Lol
i replied to winners comments
AC? DC? + ?- ?
reverse polarity, DC +
Always DC+ with 7018 even if stick maker lists use as AC also. It really makes the cleanest weld.
D.C.E.P. tends to work good with a lot of rods.
I’ve run Lincoln 7018-AC that way.
Its all in the welders hand addapt and overcome ...made me laugh did weaving on them welds..should try straight beeds and that should let your fluks just curl off easy Dfluksing
English much?
@@mcfwelding lol ok
@@mcfwelding sorry about that man hahahah😆
none of those brands make their own rod. They all came from the same factory. They just print a different name on it when the brand orders it. You literally tested 6 identical rods 🤣🤣
I beg to differ
That’s total bullshit. Some companies don’t make their own rods like Blue Demon and Vulcan. But ESAB makes all of their own weld rods, sticks and wire. Lincoln makes most of their own. Hobart makes their own. There are other companies such as Crown who make their own. Don’t talk when you know nothing.
Completely false
