Choosing a PAPR Welding Helmet For Education and Training
How to keep your students safe with the right PAPR welding helmet
Electrodes - PLATINUM 12V (General Purpose)
A seriously smooth and easy-to-use general-purpose electrode for welding steel. Platinum 12V welding rods are preferred by welders across Australia for their superior arc characteristics, all-position capability (including vertical down), low spatter and easy de-slagging. Great for mild and galvanised steel. Available in 2.0mm, 2.6mm (2.5mm) & 3.2mm. Specifications: AWS A5.1 E6013 / AS/NZS 4855 - B-E43 13 A.

Well... My boat trailer was rather neglected, was rusty and needed repairs, off on a mission to buy welding rods, because I'm a boater who cares. No welding rods in Mallacoota, we have to shop further afield, so it was off to Bairnsdale 'the big smoke' to see what we could yield. We were rear-ended at the round-a-bout, our car has gone to the gods, who would have thought such a saga, all for some welding rods. After such a disappointing shopping spree, the trailer continued to rust, so we sent a message to a friend, 'It's welding rods or bust!' The friend came through with 'Weldclass' an unfamiliar brand, but I took to the trailer with enthusiasm, and steadied my welding hand. The Platinum weld class electrodes, out performed any others I've used, easy to lay a bead, my trailer was finally fused! ' 21/06/25 17:51

Used them today and i must say, i am impressed. Start easy, flow excellent, fills gaps and don't spatter everywhere. Using them on Gal Pipe with great success. Best Farm rods i have used so far.

I've been using a Weldclass helmet for a year now and have been really happy with it's performance. So I decided to give the Weldclass brand electrodes a go for a heavy fabrication project I'm working on. I'm quite surprised how well they're performing. They are very easy to arc which makes tacking a breeze. Silky smooth welding with them, even in high winds. These are my new go-to's now for general fabrication work.

As a professional welder I bought these rods to weld in some concrete reo profiles in the vertical position. Very impressed with the arc and restarts of these rods. Needed a little higher amps than the rods I was using previously. But after running through 10kg of 3.2s I'd happily buy them again for general use around the workshop and on site.

Comments:
As a professional welder I bought these rods to weld in some concrete reo profiles in the vertical position. Very impressed with the arc and restarts of these rods. Needed a little higher amps than the rods I was using previously. But after running through 10kg of 3.2s I'd happily buy them again for general use around the workshop and on site.

This is the first time using these welding rods and i have no trouble with them at all. They start easily and do a nice neat weld. I will defiantly be buying them from now on.

Comments: Had them for 2 months and still have heaps left and I weld almost every second day. I can control them fairly easily and would recommend them for a beginner.

How likely would you be to recommend this product to a friend? (10 = very likely) = 9 Comments: I have tried these rods for the first time U2 BOC store being out-of-stock of my normal choice satincraft rods 4 basically the same price realistically couple of dollars cheaper read rods match quality of satincraft without a problem weld strength quality especially vertical Downs is not a problem I have quite a few years welding full-time under my belt and even I can easily noticed the difference ease of Arc and start especially on dirty or rusty materials that a beginner or intermediate welder would seriously benefit from the platinum 12V electrode do have a more forceful Ark than the promax GP rods so I recommend them or higher strength joints allweld meatless is a priority other than that the cheaper promax GP rods exceed anything a tradesman would need in general light fabrication letter and for the inexperienced welder a lot easier to arc and control flow then a lot of its competitors

A noticeable difference. I have moved from generic brands to Weldclass for my consumables after purchasing a helmet & seeing the difference with that. The first pack of 2.6mm electrodes do deliver on better/smooth running. Well worth the investment

Comments: Been welding for over 30 years. CIG electrodes were more popular here, but since moving over to world-class rods l am even happier with the results the 12v platinum rods work exceptionally in all welding positions. I recommend them to any n police or professional welder.

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.
