So far have run 1/16, 3/32, and 1/8 rods in 6011, 6013, 7014, 7018, and 7024. All run well! Also bought 3/32 and 1/8 Aluminum rods....works but requires a lot of practice and skill to get them consistent. Aside from running many practice beads on various thickness steel, also used this to repair my Jeeps' steering knucles with great success. Used to add metal where the disc brake pad ears wear nothches in the knuckles. Add weld metal then grind flat. Those contact points are like new and pads slide smooth on knuckles. Very happy with this machine! No complaints here! Bought this almost 2 years ago. Highly recommend! Review: Home and hobby welding made easy - Easy starter, burns a 1/8 inch stick with an excellent arc. Duty cycle for smaller amp sticks is excellent and can push up to higher amps with appropriate cooling. Hardware is robust and working lines are long enough to stretch to your work and keep the power using out of the way. ## Features - Dependable, reliable and rugged - Easy to carry & store.

I just started welding and decided to learn stick welding first opposed to MIG. Very happy with this decision. I have been able to see progress after three days of messing around placing beads on 1/4” metal. So far I have only used 6011 rods with 110 v but will have 220 v hooked up shortly. It has been a lot of fun. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47208789-hobart-500570-stickmate-160i](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47208789-hobart-500570-stickmate-160i) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
