Messer AC/DC 5/32" Welding Electrode, 10Lbs

Messer AC/DC 5/32" Welding Electrode, 10Lbs

(Easy Slag Removal, Low Spatter)

The 80TAC532PK10 Messer AC/DC 5/32" Welding Electrode (MG 80TAC PLUS) is a versatile, all-position maintenance stick rod designed 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 demanding repair conditions, while delivering low spatter, excellent bead appearance, and easy slag removal that’s ideal for fast field work. With a fast-freeze puddle and forgiving arc, it’s a dependable choice for mild and low-alloy steel, out-of-position welding, and tough repair jobs where other rods struggle.
