I would recommend these rods,they sure have an easy to detatch slag and minimal spatter,i ran them against the regular rods I use on both clean steel and rusty and id say the weldclass burnt smoother in both cases,they strike straight up from new or used,definately a rod worth stocking in 2.6 and 3.2mm.

The 12V rods I got with my helmet performed as well as those at twice the price. Will use Weldclass by choice in the future.

Portable electrode drying oven (welding rod hot box oven). Robust, lightweight, portable."Two models in one"... designed to suit users that are looking for either 5kg or 10kg capacity. If you only need 5kg capacity, the weight, size & portability is comparible to most 5kg ovens, but with the capacity to fit 10kg if required. If you need 10kg capacity, you'll find the new oven considerably lighter, more compact and more portable than many others on the market. Adjustable temperature 50-200c. Keeps electrodes moisture-free for optimum weld quality and electrode performance. Cylindrical shaped chamber keeps electrodes in better condition & avoids flux chipping (unlike Square shaped ovens where electrodes tend to roll from one corner to another and are more readily damaged).
