Haven't seen any Forney rod for a lonnnnng time. They still make many welding accessories, clamps, grinding wheels etc. I have had two Forney welders. The first (an AC) I bought used and used it for 15 yrs and gave it to my son in law when I downsized for the divorce. I later purchased another (AC-DC) also used and it is still going strong after 10 yrs. Great welder. A plug tap type, it gives 24 amp settings and the duty cycle is 100%@200Amps. They don't make these any more. A better welder IMO than the tombstone, which I have the highest regard for. Have been using a tombstone at work for 30 yrs. Can't kill em.
