Electrodes - PROMAX GP (General Purpose)

The Weldclass Promax GP is an easy-to-use, all-positional welding rod for mild & galvanised steels, supplied in a 1kg re-usable convenience pack to keep electrodes in good condition. Very smooth arc, easy re-striking & easy slag removal. Fast-freezing slag formula, for welding in all positions including vertial down. Tolerant to dirty materials and poor fit-up. Available in 2.0mm, 2.6mm & 3.2mm.
If a more forceful arc is desired, and for larger volume applications, we recommend the best-selling Weldclass Platinum 12V electrode.

The electrodes were very easy to strike and re-strike between welds and fed into the puddle nicely. The slag cleaned off well and the weld looked good after a quick wire-brush. Definitely my new favorite electrode, and will get them again.

Comments:
I consider myself to be a pretty crappy welder, and I do not weld the best class of steel, but from my first use of the 2.0 mm rods on slightly rusty ( yes I did give it a quick clean) my results were way above my expectations. I welded 1inch gal pipe to a 2inch square tube for a good strong join.

having just built a tandem boat trailer using these rods in 3.2mm l can say that these rods are very easy to use, easy to start, the weld pool is easy to see watching the slag pushed back as l welded, most welds the slag peeled back as l welded

Just previously started using weldclass products and am absolutely stunned with the promax go steel welding electrodes. Takes about 95 amps with the stick welding I have been using but would love to get a weldclass welder but isn't available right now as it's just to much for me right now. Definitely recommend to friends, family and others that are looking for high quality products and stock for the workshop!

Comments: Product enclosed in plastic holder and plastic wrap. This meant rods were dry and performed well. Good arc stability on metal with some slight rust and light galv coating. Weld presented well with easy clean up. (Slag came away clean). I will be looking for and buying these again if I can.

Comments: I have a very old welder 15amp running on 10am supply. I previously have found Satin craft a good choice. These rods are much better easy to strike up, easy to maintain flow and good fill with poor match up. Best I have had in 29 years of welding with this welder.
