Bolher is a known name or get some Sif rod from Weldequip (a link at the top of the page)^^^

If the Blucord are what I think they are they are possibly the best 6013 on the market.
They are made by a firm in Italy and marketed as all sorts of names all over the place. The names usually have Blu or Blue in them.

The SIF rods are also a rebadging job but I dont know the origin

The Bohler are made by Bohler so you have that assurance

Bohlers are on special offer at United Welding Supplys Hitchin

a very nice rod imho !

Blucord are made by Air Liquide Welding or Oerlikon as they were known as..

Most of the cheaper 6013 electrodes are about as good as each other really.
