What Welders Are Saying...
Dave, QLD
I’m impressed how easy and stable these fired up, and the restart was just like a fresh rod, and the slag almost fell off, these really are an all-purpose easy to use rod. The sample pack was enough for me to fab up a short deflector guard on a ride on mower. I’m more than happy with the finish.
Luke, SA
I’m new to stick welding, I was able to produce a really clean consistent weld with the 12P rods. I also found the glass peeled up nicely and was easy to clean off. I’ll definitely be buying some of these rods!
William, NSW
They start great and run a really nice bead and the slag just falls off.
Nash, NSW
Great welding rods and easy to use overall. The best I’ve used.
Zac, VIC
Electrodes weld extremely well. They are very forgiving and offer a smooth arc with light easy lifting slag. Very good rods on site, would highly recommend.
Nick, QLD
I’m only a novice welder but I found it quite easy to weld with these rods, they give a good-looking strong weld.
Chris K, NSW
They were very easy to strike, left a very even bead and the slag just dropped away. I could not have ask for any better.
Neville W, NSW
The 12P ran a smooth weld, much better than the competitions. I’ll be using the Austarc 12P forever.
Nathan R, NSW
Really easy to use electrode, ideal for my small welding projects.
Joe D, QLD
Very user-friendly electrode. Easy starting, smooth arc, neat welds and easy slag removal. Would recommend to anyone.
