For the ER70S‑6 MIG Premium Welding Wire, 0.035" dia, 264 lb drum – “pack of 264”, here’s how it breaks down: This is not 264 spools. The “264” refers to the total weight of the drum (264 lbs). It’s a single bulk drum of wire, wound continuously. Standard spools for 0.035" MIG wire are usually 10 lb or 33 lb spools. 👉 If you wanted to think of it in spool equivalents: 264 lb ÷ 10 lb spools ≈ 26 spools 264 lb ÷ 33 lb spools ≈ 8 spools So: you’re buying one 264 lb drum, not multiple spools. If you need smaller spools, you’d have to order them separately or rewind from the drum.
