How to choose flux core wire?

[Happy Gilmore]

Picked this up at Home Depot on clearance. Not sure if it was limited just to my local store, price seemed good.



They also had the same Innershield NR-211-MP wire in .030 for $58.00 for a 10# spool, not sure why the $20.00 price difference between the .030 and .035?

I was at the LWS and picked up a 10# roll of Blueshield .035 flux core for a friend and it was around $75. At Home Depots around here you'd be hard pressed to find a one pound spool of welding wire.

Do they not stock it or sell out?

They don't stock it. The stores around here cater more to the weekend home reno crowd.

Our local Lowes and Home Depot both carry the 10 lb rolls of the 211. And at $62-$63 it's cheaper than buying online.
