Has anyone used the wire from Harbor freight. It's either my imagination or it didn't do very well. I know you get what you pay for, but I thought "how different could it be"? I wanted to get other's thought.

I haven't yet but like you said you get what you pay for. I got lucky when I bought my rolls of wire, we gave $5.00 a 2 lb roll and I bought 5 at a time. I wish I would have bought more cause he is out now and won't get any more.

Yeah I know. I don't even know the name of the company that made the roll but it was cheap enough and it works good.

It is well worth the money. I run .035 harborfrieght flux core in my 220 mig. I personaly like it better than Lincoln flux core wire. No problems here

The HF wire worked good for me too.

Maybe it was made on a Chinese wed.

I looked at That today While getting a tarp there today.

The wire at our store said "Made in USA"

Weird seeing USA made stuff in harbor freight.
