Not quiet over the moon with WIA welding rods @ $80 a pack
Tested out the WIA Weldarc 13s rods tonight and i'm not over the moon about them
Comparing them to Gemini 13 rods of similar thickness 2.4-2.6mm
The WIA are nothing to root about especially at 4 times the price
I found stricking an arc harder with the WIA over Gemini however the WIA didnt trip the safety of lighting up the arc like the Gemini
Weld appearance will be seen tomorrow but i am actually thinking i just threw away $60 on these rods that cost $80 and should have bought Gemini rods
The weld around the bar is Gemini rods
The flat fillet weld is WIA i will knock the slag off tomorrow
The WIA rods were tempremental to over amperage reccommended is 85amps i bumped it to 90amps and the rod was just too soft, the Gemini can withstand 10amps over recommended
