Messer AC/DC 3/32" Welding Rod, 10Lbs (Easy Slag Removal, Low Spatter) 80,000Lb Tensile Strength

Messer AC/DC 3/32" Welding Electrode, 10Lbs

(Easy Slag Removal, Low Spatter)

The 80TAC332PK10 Messer AC/DC 3/32" Welding Electrode (MG 80TAC PLUS) is a versatile, all-position maintenance stick rod engineered to run on nearly any AC or DC welder, even machines with low open-circuit voltage. Its special coating helps protect the weld deposit in tough repair environments while delivering low spatter, excellent bead appearance, and super easy slag removal that speeds cleanup. With a fast-freeze puddle and forgiving arc, it’s a strong choice for mild steel and low-alloy steel, especially for field repair work and out-of-position welding where control matters.
