Awl--

What is it, and how does it differ from regular rod?
Any applications that especially favor its use?

I am not sure by your term "drag wire" Drag electrode refers to rods like E
7014 and E 7024. Once fired up you can let the end of the rod contact the
surface of the parent metal and it will lay down a bead as you drag it
along.

Yeah, I remember being able to do that! Forgot which rod, tho.
How about with 6013 et al?

You can drag 6013 but it is not as convenient/easy. With 14 and 24 you
should set your alarm clock to wake you up when the rod has to be replaced
:'))) It is that easy!
