Ever have problems restarting because of burn backs in the rod, or slag covering the tip? Well if u don't have a file handy, you can simply pinch the end of the rod between you pointer finger and thumb and twist. (Make sure the rod is cool, don't be an idiot, Oh yeah one more thing MAKE SURE YOUR WEARING GLOVES!!!! Weld for 8 hours on 200 amps and then tell me about how much you don't like gloves. Your skin will be kuput.)The slag and exsess flux comes right off down to the rod. Hope this helps someone out
