Yeah, good ID.


It's an arc welding rod. You attach the rod to the positive +stinger and the -grounding clamp to the part to be welded and wala. The general set-up uses electricity.

It could be a big sparkler, Ant.

I go with "welding rod" used with an arc welder!

I could be but:
It looks exactly like some of the welding rods that I have handled. Most sparklers are metallic in color and much thinner.

Could we get a shot of the other end, and does it flex easily?
If it is a sparkler, it should flex easily and light or react to a punk or flame.

That points to a arc welding rod.

HH and good luck.
