My son was playing with a 2 pound spool of Hobart solid-core MIG wire on the workbenck  and dropped it on the concrete floor. Here's how it looked after the impact:I can sell it for scrap, try to re-spool it and use a bolt to hold the spool together, or try to re-spool it onto another good spool. I'm thinking that for $10 it's not worth the time and I should just take it to the scrap yard.  By the time I get done respooling it, it could be pretty scratched up and I'd hate to ruin the liner sending this stuff down the liner.Milermatic 211

Reply:Don't feel bad.  I did that once with a 35 lb roll of inner outter shield.   Took it out of the box to install it in the feeder only to realized I left the retainer ring on the welder.  So I sat it down on the bench to take the ring off.  Only to watch it roll off the bench, hit the ground, break the cardboard spool, and spring all across the shop.    That was an expensive mistake.
