[QUOTE="danmyersmn, post: 116086, member: 2096"] I have tried both and I like the harbor freight ones myself. I struggled with the HTS 2000 rods because they are much thinner and I was melting the rod before it would flow into the metal. With the Harbor Freight rods I was able to get the metal hot enough to melt the rod and grab onto the liquid. The HTS 2000 was melting too early. I'm no pro and was using acetylene so hopefully you will have better luck. One thing though, this is not welding.. I.E. TIG. I don't know how much I would trust a load bearing repair to these rods.
