I'm a welder, and I'm kind of fed up with using the 7018 rods, especially when I'm welding outside in the wind. So now, I'm looking for the best flux core wire for self-shielding. that works well when I'm welding in weird positions, not just flat. So guys give me your recommendation guys!
 
Hey sooo I think the E71T-11 will work well for you if you don't want anything requiring gas also. Anyway it's funny you mentioned that you weld in weird positions then this is really fitting for you. Can put it overhead, vertical, flat, or whatever you want! Hahaha let me know how this works out for you
