Really hard to lick, but still better than the old solder

Although it's harder to work with than lead solder, I've had a really bad (and wet!) experience with it, and I'm sorry no worries about repetition. I just spent more time with this unleaded and sealed it.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs

Easier to melt as the silver grade is 0.01. 99% other, softer metals, like other lead-free solders. In other words, the word silver should not be associated with it as it is almost, if not misleading, advertising misleading. Higher silver content solders are available. If silver content is important, this solder is useless.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging

Great for copper pipe

I tried my hand at plumbing about 6 weeks ago but not very well. The next day I hired a plumber to keep the house running. I watched the plumber closely and asked many questions and he was willing to answer questions. I also took note of the tools he used and made sure to buy the same or similar tools. This lot was recommended and I'm glad I bought it. This time I used 1/2" copper tubing and bent the tip 1/2" and it dripped onto the copper tubing very nicely. I wiped the solder once it meltedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
