PGN Solid MIG Welding Wire - ER70S-6 .035 Inch, 44 Pound Spool - Mild Steel MIG Wire with Low Splatter and High Levels of Deoxidizers - For All Position Gas Welding - Shatterproof ABS Spool

This roll of wire is to heavy to be shipped in the store shelf box. The box was tore up, the edge on the plastic real was broken, and it was almost to come apart. I was able to wire it all back together, and I am hoping to make it work.

the wire was cheaper than my local welding supply store by a small amount, plus it was delivered right to my door and I did not have to burn fuel going to get it

Works good except my spool arrived broken from shipping

The retention spool was destroyed on one side, and no matter what I tried, the wire would not spool without catching the jagged side every rotation.. I wanted to return it or exchange it, and even though the return would have been at no cost to me, PGN told me to keep it for 7 days in case UPS wanted to review the damage. After 10 days they told me to get rid of it, over that of paying the costs to return it. I'm told I was refunded, but don't see the credit so I'm discussing it with Amazon.When it comes to the wire itself, it looked OK, and had I a spool or a way to spool it onto a working spool I might have been able to use it, unfortunately, I did not have that option. I hated throwing it away, but it was a 44 lb paperweight that was getting in the way.I do not believe this damage was the responsibility of PGN, but rather the handling UPS provided in transit, which took a week+. This is a physics problem that is not to be avoided by a standard box with the wire taped around the circumference of the wire. If a hard cardboard shell were to enclose the outer circumference, that was inside the initial outer box, that might help in transit. Double boxing the wire spool would not help if the package is poorly handled.

This is great wire if you are running a MIG machine. It is much cheaper than buying from a box store and getting it online is more convenient than going to the local welding store. So far, I am very happy with it.

I was sceptical about ordering this based on all the negative shipping reviews but decided to give it a try. Packed in a fairly heavy cardboard box with foam around the spool. Arrived early and fully intact. 5 stars, but would like to see a little more effort into the packging.

I have purchased this wire 4 times. I received a usable product 2 time without reordering. 1 time it arrived with a broken spool, another time it didn't show up at all. On first 3 orders I ended up with a useable product eventually. 4th order came in on time but it is corroded. See pictures. The corrosion is layered into the wire and not just on the surface. Caused several bindups on the feed wheels of my millermatic 251. Loss of time and wire off sets the money saved. Too bad because it is good wire at a good value when it isn't corroded and actually shows up.

Great product. Delivery methods for them need instructions for carrier that is damaged user can’t use when spool ring it’s damaged.
