Forney 32005 E7014 Welding Rod, 3/32-Inch, 5-Pound

This stock holds a nice arch even with my little welder, doesn’t get stuck on the surface and doesn’t burn through. I use the 3/32 7014 for 1/8” mild steel and repairing rusty metal boat trailer frame and it does great with both.Get the 1/16 for attaching nuts to thin sheet formed metal parts of my lawn tractor and it doesn’t over slag the threads or burn through the thin sheet goods in repairing. Hallelujah I can weld almost nice looking welds with this even though I’m an untrained novice with a cheap welding machine!Playing with the bottom of the amperage range on my machine also helps! Lower amps makes better welds on thin material and the 7014 takes a nice steady arc and bread on low power welds and sticks my parts together very Nicely. For instance instead of 80 amps on 3/32 I use more like 65 and keep a very short arc, takes practice to strike a low power arc but the 7014 does it.

you can't go wrong with 7014. if you're a Newbie skip the infamous 6013 and 7018 and start with this. so much easier to strike an arc and maintain a weld. Forney rods are top notch.

I use it in a cheap welder and it does great. Can burn at low amps and comes out looking clean

Works very well for smaller stuff around the farm

Great rod

Very good rods

As a hobbyist welder, I wanted to try these. Most of the videos you see on youtube are about 6010/11, 6013, or 7018. Just came across a video on 7014, which I didn't know existed (hey, I'm a home hobbyist welder!), and thought I'd see the difference.Previously, 7018 was the easiest for me to run, but this has replaced them. Very low spatter, super easy to start, and the arc is very forgiving. Slag is easy to remove as well. Was able to run them as low as 60a on my lincoln AC 225.

low amps works great for my portable handheld
