I bought a used welder from a widow woman about 4 miles from here.

Along with the welder was a helmet and a good supply of 1/8" Cronatron® - 321 Mild and Carbon Steel Stick Rod Electrode.

I have not tried the rod yet. Looking for comments about this welding rod.

I welded up some pipe and gate hinges in the barn lot today. I think the Cronatron 321 is a pretty decent rod. Pretty good for any position welding. Slag chipped easily.

We used quite a bit of Cronatron stuff at Maytag. Seems like it was pretty good. Wow, seems like forever ago!

Is it similar to a 7010 welding rod ?

Like them all, but love the "B"s.
