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
