Lead-free solder | 0.6mmØ, 10g, 5m tube

I can confirm along with other reviewers that the 'reel' preview image is not what you get, you get a standard small tube "Bib, Lead Free Universal Solder" (a green label & top cap)What is received is good solder so don't worry.Its nice to melt, even with a cheap iron.High in smoke/fumes but not a problem if your a confident speedy worker & "blow as you go".No ugly excessive flux left behind as of yet, gives that nice looking professional finish as expected(that depends on skill)***Iv not tested performance of rapid temperature changes***For noob's & info addicts:-The tube is about 15mm wide, near 95mm long packed to the brim(not counting for thicken of tube walls)I used about 15mm of the 95mm "tubes length" to make approximately 75 connections to around standard sized PCB pads ...Nice quite thin solder, for PCB's (printed circuit board's) ... Its not really designed for tinning car speaker wires noob's (if so, you maybe a little disappointed with amount)

Some previous reviews say that the item they received was not a standard 10 gram tube of solder but instead a small packet with thin long strips of solder. The item I received is exactly like the picture. It's a normal 9cm tube with standard lead free solder.The solder is good. Works like regular solder. However, you should realize that lead free solder uses mercury instead of lead. Not really a health concern because mercury is only toxic if you ingest it in it's natural state. Still, you should keep this away from young kids who might put it in their mouth, etc.Great product. It should last ages! Shipping was a tad bit longer than expected though.

What ever you are soldiering it's important you are safe from harmful fumes, and this is the reason I brought the Lead free solder, 1.0mm+, 100g. I originally needed it to weld steel together and silly me this isn't what its for but for electrical work on chipboards.But it wasn't wasted as I used to create support frames to make clay models from. However, having tested it on my Soldering Iron it melts perfectly and there's so much solder on one role it's all your need. Just to verify, the image indicates several roles, but you will only receive one role.

Free flowing with very little flux contamination.

Solder did not flow with standard flux. If a specific flu is required then this should have been specified. Did not adhere to copper!

As I am just starting out in electronics I am not sure what to say about this, while it does do the job I do have to have my iron set very high to even melt the solder, that being said I have yet to tip my soldering iron so when I do this I am hoping the solder melts more easily, providing it does I will be coming back for more of this stuff.

Received the product in real fast time well packaged so in good condition. Excellent solder just the right thickness for the job of sorting out my cigarette lighter plug in for in car charger. Easy to use in handy pen sized container (not as shown in picture on spool) easier to place where i wanted it. Good product would recommend to all.

Second time purchase, first lasted 25 years so must be good.
