My problems with this product is not the fault of the rods themselves, I am an inexperienced plastic welder and needed to attach a fitting to a polyethylene water tank.
My plastic welder is a bottom shelf model, and as such had difficulty melting these rods to a workable temp.
I would like to use this opportunity to praise AZ TOOLS, their service was simply incredible and I had the rods the next day after ordering them, well before the rest of the tools for the job arrived. GOOD JOB!!

These rods heat easily and seem to work well. They seem a bit pricey to me, but I think that most plastic welding related items are right now.

I bought about 40'of 1/4" AmSteel Blue HDPE winch cable for my ATV. When I removed the steel cable from my Ramsey winch, I couldn't figure a way to secure the AmSteel to the winch drum cause it Ramsey (and I also think Warn) uses a 'puck' method loop the tail end of the steel cable into a notch in the drum to hold it. I ended-up threading the Amsteel through the drum, then welding the end with a glob HDPE rod. That 'honker' acted like a puck when I pulled it into the drum's notch and kept the cable from unspooling. Worked good. I tested it by pulling the ATV out of a six foot deep embankment with less than 2 wraps left on the drum. Be sure to use HDPE on HDPE winch rope, cause the regular Poly rods just won't hold near as well.
