 Forney? I recently bought some super-impact hardfacing stick electrodes called "DYNAMAG" manufactured by the company Forney. Has anyone ever heard of this company? Are these electrodes any good? I bought them just to try out cause at first, I thought that they were just standard rods until I read the package. LOL. My main question is; what current do these run on?? It tells me the amperage range, but no current. And, can anyone tell me how the work (good/bad/indifferent/etc)? Thanks for the info. Hillbilly

| 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.

 Most hardware stores have their displays and some rod and wire. Here is their website...Bob Forney Industries |

| If you contact them, tell them you read about them on IForgeIron.

| I know the web site, but it doesn't tell anything about the welding electrodes. I have tried to contact them already (the same day that I put up this post) but I haven't gotten any replies yet. If/when they reply back to me, I will definitely reply back telling them that I heard of them from here.... Any other comments, knowledge of this will be greatly appreciated.

| Forney is a good company, been around a long time, I have never used those specific rods but I have never used a Forney product that disappointed me. welder19
