UTILE Solder Wire Lead Free Rosin Core Flux 2% 3.2 mm (454g) Electric Solder Fine Sn 99 - LF Silver Tin Wire for Electronics Soldering Unlead, Circuit Board, DIY, Home Appliance

I mostly do work on small circuits but I also do some household electrical stuff and occasionally need thicker wire than what I tend to keep on hand. This has been great for splicing thicker cables mainly for me, mostly audio or random switches. It's been easy enough to work with in these cases.After I received this, I went back and noticed the description says it's 60%-40% tin/lead. As far as I can tell, it is indeed lead-free however; the packaging indicates it's 99.9% tin, not 60-40.

It's good solder. I've had no issues.

I do a lot of small electronics repair so am always in need of solder. This seems to be a pure tin solder (lead free) but according to the description, its 60/40 where 40% of the solder alloy would be lead. I am surprised the description is still not fixed.The solder flows as expected and the rosin core helps on clean metal but my standard fluxes also seem to work on more dirty/corroded connections. Its a half pound of total solder which is a decent value considering the quantity. The one thing that is different about these types of solders is they tend to harden very quickly so that can be something to adjust do if you are coming from 60/40 lead solder.

The media could not be loaded. The item description details are very confusing. After the item's headline title states "Lead-free," the details say "Tin 60%-Lead 40% (Sn60-Pb40) alloy for reliable soldering." I reported the problem - we'll see if it gets fixed.I tried this anyway to see the real composition. It is indeed lead-free 99% tin content (Sn) rosin core solder with a 1.6mm diameter. It's a 1/2-pound spool. It behaves, solders, and looks like lead-free solder. The label says 99.9% Sn purity. The quick video shows a run of the molten solder over a copper wire. This is a larger diameter solder that's useful for larger objects when you need to lay down a lot of solder. I found it very useful for tinning wires, but this diameter is less appropriate for delicate soldering on a circuit board or surface mount work.Other than the item's description discrepancy, my only gripe is that the outer spool of the solder was secured with a sticky clear tape that leaved the whole outside spool of solder tacky after removal. Goo gone or WD40 will help to remove the sticky junk.

It's easy to test for tin wire if you have a pinecil like I do. You set the temp for 60/40 and see if it melts, if it does, you know it isn't pure tin. Luckily this is. Just don't forget your flux, like I did, I'm too used to rosin core. Can recommend.

Husband reports the solder wire performs as advertised, and is pleased it is leadfree, according to the labeling.

The media could not be loaded. I like this solder because if the solder hot, it melts it, and of it stranded wire like this . The wire getting good and hot makes the solder flow between the strands. also I find flows even like. And not to forget the amount of wire on this roll is massive. 1.6mm Diameter 227g and though I would say it is higher price because of the amount, put low melting point.
