Comments: Got my wife to pick up some GP Welding Rods whilst she was in town. She came home with these Weldclass Rods which i had never heard off before. Used them today and i must say, i am impressed. Start easy, flow excellent, fills gaps and don't spatter everywhere. Using them on Gal Pipe with great success. Best Farm rods i have used so far. I will be buying a complete mix of these Wellclass Rods in the other grades now. Great product. 31/08/24 18:42

I've been using a Weldclass helmet for a year now and have been really happy with it's performance. So I decided to give the Weldclass brand electrodes a go for a heavy fabrication project I'm working on. I'm quite surprised how well they're performing. They are very easy to arc which makes tacking a breeze. Silky smooth welding with them, even in high winds. These are my new go-to's now for general fabrication work.

As a professional welder I bought these rods to weld in some concrete reo profiles in the vertical position. Very impressed with the arc and restarts of these rods. Needed a little higher amps than the rods I was using previously. But after running through 10kg of 3.2s I'd happily buy them again for general use around the workshop and on site.

I would recommend these rods,they sure have an easy to detatch slag and minimal spatter,i ran them against the regular rods I use on both clean steel and rusty and id say the weldclass burnt smoother in both cases,they strike straight up from new or used,definately a rod worth stocking in 2.6 and 3.2mm.

Comments: Been welding for over 30 years. CIG electrodes were more popular here, but since moving over to world-class rods l am even happier with the results the 12v platinum rods work exceptionally in all welding positions. I recommend them to any n police or professional welder.

I would recommend these rods,they sure have an easy to detatch slag and minimal spatter,i ran them against the regular rods I use on both clean steel and rusty and id say the weldclass burnt smoother in both cases,they strike straight up from new or used,definately a rod worth stocking in 2.6 and 3.2mm.

The 12V rods I got with my helmet performed as well as those at twice the price. Will use Weldclass by choice in the future.
