Get in the habit of keeping track of your welding rod stubs. On the floor they are trash and a slip hazard, and in the driveway they can be a tire hazard. In many industries welders are issued X number of rods at the beginning of their shift and are expected to return the same total rods and/or stubs at the end of the day or be fined. The reason for this is the stubs can end up in tanks and piping where they are difficult and expensive to remove and can damage equipment or foul processes. Get in the habit early and act like a pro! - guru
