S119832-089 - Hobart 18AC 3/32-Inch E7018 Stick Electrode 10lb Pack

The Perfect 7018 Rod for Your AC Welder

If you have ever tried to run a standard 7018 rod on a "buzz box" or utility AC welder, you know the frustration of the rod sticking, the arc stuttering, and the difficulty in getting a smooth bead. The Hobart 18AC 3/32" Stick Electrode is the solution. It is specifically manufactured to run smoothly on AC welders, giving you the strong, low-hydrogen welds of a 7018 rod without the headache. Whether you are working in a farm shop, a home garage, or a small fabrication business, this rod upgrades your welding capability.

This 10 lb pack of 3/32" rods is ideal for a wide range of material thicknesses. The all-position capability means you can handle vertical and overhead repairs on equipment or structures without changing rods. It produces a distinct, easy-to-control puddle and slag that is generally easy to remove, leaving a professional-looking bead profile. While it is the champion of AC welding, it works just as well on DC machines, making it a universal rod for your shop.

Applications for the Hobart 18AC are extensive. It is perfect for general fabrication, structural frames, trailer repairs, and heavy equipment maintenance. Its ability to handle skip and tack welds with excellence means you can fit up projects quickly. Don't let your power source limit your weld quality; choose the Hobart 18AC for reliable, strong welds on any machine.
