Hobart770073 Welding Storage Can F/Electrodes

As someone who takes welding seriously, I know how crucial it is to keep electrodes dry and in top condition. The Hobart 770073 Welding Storage Can is an absolute game-changer for anyone who wants to protect their investment in welding rods.Build Quality & DesignThe first thing I noticed was the solid, heavy-duty construction. It’s made of thick plastic that feels durable and impact-resistant—this is NOT some flimsy container that will crack or break under rough shop conditions. The rubber gasket seal on the lid is tight and secure, ensuring a proper moisture barrier. The lid itself screws on smoothly and tightly, making it easy to open but also reliable in sealing out humidity.Performance & EffectivenessThis canister does an outstanding job of keeping electrodes moisture-free. I’ve tested it in different environments—from a humid garage to a cold workshop—and my rods stayed completely dry with no signs of moisture absorption. Whether you're using 7018, 6010, or specialty electrodes, you can trust that this container will preserve their integrity and prevent issues like porosity or weak welds.Capacity & StorageIt comfortably holds up to 10 lbs of electrodes, which is perfect for home welders and professionals alike. The vertical design takes up minimal space, so it’s easy to store on a workbench or shelf. The bright orange color is a bonus—it’s highly visible, so you won’t misplace it in a cluttered shop.Value for MoneyCompared to other electrode storage solutions, this one is affordable, reliable, and does exactly what it promises. Some high-end rod ovens or heated storage units are great for large-scale operations, but for most welders, this canister is the best bang for your buck.Final VerdictIf you're serious about welding and want to extend the life of your electrodes while maintaining top welding performance, the Hobart 770073 is a must-have.

Works great, keeps my electrodes dry. I use a hand truck to move my Miller Thunderbolt buzz box around and just kind of hang it on there. I take it off when moving, I don’t think the clip is made for an incline like that.

Nice case. The dividers are great so I can carry different sticks separated. But, why can’t manufacturers use stickers that can be removed without leaving most of the sticker on the item. Not just these but everything that has stickers. Just a general complaint because when I tried to peel the big sticker off it just ripped up and now looks stupid. But the container is great. I would definitely buy again.

It has 2 dividers in it for storage of 4 different rod types. It has a rubber ring to keep moisture out. It works well and is cost efficient.

*&^%$# Adhesive on Label – Functional DRY electrode rod storageThis electrode rod storage container is very well designed with internal cross walls to separate and support the electrodes. It is made of plastic with a sealing O-Ring so it will be airtight to keep your electrode rods dry. The plastic walls are thick enough to give it enough strength to survive a waist high drop to the floor. Of course the plastic will crack if you drop it from a great height. The cap and body threads are well designed for easy opening and sealing.However, whoever specified the adhesive for the label needs to be fired. You cannot simply remove the UN-necessary label by peeling it off. You have to gently heat up the label to soften the adhesive before you attempt to pull off the label. Even then you leave little sticky label pieces along the tube. Then you have to use adhesive solvent to clean away the sticky residue. This product quality certainly deserves a full 5 Star Rating, but I took off one Star Rating point for all the trouble I had to go through to remove the UN-necessary label.I have seen this exact electrode rod storage tube with different brand names but this is a really good price especially with Amazon Prime free and shipping.

I've seen other electrode holders that pretend to seal the container with an O-ring, but don't. This one does and seems well made.

It’s real tuff, and 100% water and air, and humidity proof, as it must be to store rods in to keep them in the exactCondition as they were a year ago or much longer.!!!. I’ll give these an A for extra good.!. Just a little too expensive.!!!.

Great product, and well priced. They look like they will protect your electrodes and keep the moisture out. Just like some other customers, my only complaint is the big ugly label that has to come off. Took me 20 minutes rubbing them with Goof Off to remove them.
