## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with a cheap 90 amp harbor freight**
A: It works better than the wire that came with my HF welder. I did upgrade the wire feeder with one I found on Amazon. Also, I am using a 0.030 tip instead of the 0.035 that came with the machine. Machine is 8 years old and runs better now than when it was new.

**Q: can I use this with my 125 amp flux core welder from harbor freight**
A: Danny,
This wire would be perfect to run in your flux core welding machine!
Thank you for your question.

**Q: can I use this to solder?**
A: By solder you mean electronics? Like motherboards and so? You dont need shade for that but i am sure you can use an auto darkening helmet since it is clear it will stay that way

**Q: What is the diameter of the center hole.**
A: I believe .030/.8mm and .035/.9mm

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great wire
*by R***C on January 3, 2026*

Best wire I have found on Amazon. Low splatter, good welds. I’ve tried others and they don’t compare.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good wire.
*by R***Y on December 2, 2024*

This is a good wire. The welds look clean, it is easy to use without gas, it has moderate spatter, it functions great and fits is small flux core welders. This makes good looking welds and is a great value for the money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best fluxcore wire for small welders
*by G***. on February 21, 2024*

I'd like to start off by saying that in no welder, just a guy with a welder. This wire Is infinitely Better than the oxidized matte wire that you'll find at harbor freight. This wire works wonders, it's very forgiving and holds a consistent arc. It doesn't glob up like HF wire does and It deposits very smoothly and nicely. Not being a welder I don't know how It compares to larger spools made for industrial machines but from the multiple small spools ive tried this one has been the best. Don't cheap out on wire. P.S. to the reviews complaining about the wire unspooling, that's user error, you need to hold the wire to keep it from unspooling as you out it in the drive rollers. Happy welding!
