Ditto what Covforge said. Just because it doesn't say Lincoln, McKay, Sanvick, etc. doesn't mean they are an inferior rod. Shoot both Forney and Hobart have been in the business for 75yrs or so. They HAVE to meet specs., otherwise they would have been out of business years ago. Buy 'em and don't worry about it. If they are a low-hydorgen rod just remember to keep the unused rods at 250F once you have opened the container. (They will collect moisture and result in poor welds if not reconditioned before using. That's a whole new thread....)
