worth the money just because it saves time

Excellent flowability, absorbs moisture well, melts and cures very quickly. You see, over the years I've used a large supply of silver-tin-lead-free resin core solder that I used to buy from Radio Shack and it's been really good too; then I ran out and bought some more silver tin cans from Bernzomatic a few months ago and it was just awful. Difficult to absorb, doesn't flow well, chars my soldering iron tip (I had to buy an ammonia block which I _never_ needed before), you get the point…

Pros
  • 99.3% tin and 0.7% silver
Cons
  • Not sure

It just works great for solder and flux

Have wanted one for a long time but didn't want to spend much as not used that often. I use it for regular CATV coax - for years I've been repairing and running cables around the house, I've had to cut and rejoin them. In the end I couldn't resist and stopped there. It has a really good weight out of the box. If you use it every day it might be a bit much but I like it. It has really good crimping leverage and the first two times I used it I crimped it too tight and the end snapped. The third…

Pros
  • 1mm diameter
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Functional but no better version

This is a basic cable tester, nothing more. While you see two lines to test the connection, the second line only lights up to test the cable when both ends are connected to the device. The remote control sensor works but does not transmit information to the main unit. Basically, you have to be in two places at the same time for verification. If you need exercise, this is your car. Otherwise it has little functional use. To use it you need to place the main unit on the end you want to test, set…

Pros
  • 1 pound reel
Cons
  • Unreliable
