The honest read
- Bossweld E6013 3.2mm 5kg is a welding electrode, not a welding machine.
- If the Bossweld pack is priced at $28 AUD for 5 kg, that sits in the normal “budget consumable” zone, so the value depends mostly on whether your use case matches what 6013 does best.
- If you want, I can turn this into a buyer-style summary specifically for the Bossweld pack at $28 AUD with a “worth it / not worth it” recommendation.
