In 25 years I've never once stripped a torx screw. Twisted off a few bits on rusty hardware, but never stripped a head. Dunno what cheese-grade fasteners you've been dealing with.

edit; correction, I've stripped exactly one. It was a very small countersunk screw holding the handguard on an AR-15. Got it loose with a center punch and drift punch to bust it loose after stripping. Only one out of probably thousands I've encountered.

I agree with this, torx are great about NOT stripping out. They offer a tremendous amount of surface area to get the job done, which is why they are hard to strip. On the other hand, I HAVE stripped (or usually busted) a large number of crappy bits over the years. Other than being frustrated about the bit, I am always grateful when this occurs that I do not have to deal with a stripped head.

Just had two delivered for $19.87 each... gives me 4 spools in inventory. I really like how this runs on my Miller 211. Amazon Resale- boxes were a bit dinged up but the wire and spools were perfect. Screenshot_20251202_203631_Amazon Shopping.jpg

Mine both arrived as well. Boxes mashed up, and the plastic spools were cracked in places, but the wire is perfect and they'll run no problem. I'm happy.

I learned the hard way that if the actual plastic of the spool is compromised (ie beat to hell from shipping)

it can effect the feed quality

My Miller was having issues feeding consistently, turned out the damage was the issue

(I know you said no damage to the product) Just heads up

These were described as "Mint" condition, and they were. I would probably pass on "Used, Good"or "Used Acceptable"
I did receive a roll of INE wire with a slightly damaged spool last year, but it ran OK. Maybe its the luck of the draw, but I haven't had a birds nest or pigtail with any of the AWD spools I have purchased- and that's all I have been running for the last couple of years.

Regrettably, it ended up being the classic advertised as a 10 pack but you receive just 1.

Which is really stupid because if you buy a new 10 pack they are $8 per wheel instead of $15 per wheel for the warehouse deal.

The listed box dimensions and weight match a 10 pack. Always a gamble with Amazon, unfortunately. Even more so with their resale.
