Esab welding wire

[Finny1221]

Any feedback on Esab Sureweld 70S6 MiG wire. Good price at $40.98 for 11 pound spool of 0.30 shipped including taxes. Going to be used in a Miller 215 light fabrication work.
TIA.

I wouldn't sneeze at ESAB wire. Many years ago we sold it as our "house" wire.
How much is the wire per pound?

I've done many weld tests with the ESAB 12.50 (aristorod) and 12.51 (autrod) wires, these are wires with a similar chemistry. Always with great results.
Even with their budget variant, the G3Si1, and I've never been disappointed.
I'd expect this Sureweld wire to be top notch as well.

$2.53 per pound

$40.98 for 11 pound spool = $ 3.73 per lb. incl. shipping

That doesn't sound like such a good deal, but I've never bought wire by a single spool...

I guess it is relative the Lincoln superArc L-56 ER70S is $66 for 12.5# plus shipping & tax which comes out to $89.54

I usually sell our "house" brand S6 030 on 12 for 2.49 lb.

If you want a heart stopper price some 035 S6 National Standard NS115 copper free on a 45 pound spool.......4.53 per pound.
