I’m no soldering expert - mostly just DIYer with an occasional need to repair household stuff or tin the ends of wires. That said, this seems to be perfectly functional solder. Wicked up into stranded wire with no issues… melted quick and easy… left behind a smooth, even finish… and the tubes are must easier to wrangle than the rolls/coils I’ve used in the past. Lot of solder for a crazy-low price (currently $7).

This is listed as 60/40 rosin core solder, but the description also says it's lead free. I'm not exactly sure what the solder is.My experience in using it is that it melts quickly, but also solidifies quickly. It smokes a lot. It does NOT flow into stranded copper wire regardless of how much heat you put into it. It just kind of gobs on top and it solidifies as soon as you take heat away from it. When I tried soldering 10ga stranded copper wire, it transferred heat into the wire well, about 4-5" down the 10awg wire. However, even though it transferred heat, only the very tip of the 1/2" exposed wire had solder on it and it would not soak in. In moving the soldering iron up and down the 1/2" area of wire, the solder would melt and stick to the wire, but it would only stay liquid in the immediate surrounding area where the soldering iron was. The solder just gobbed on top of the wire. After I got a decent coating, or so I thought, I cut the soldered wire and the inner strands just fell out. I have never seen this happen before with the other rosin core solders I've used, and I've done a lot of soldering. Adding flux may help, but that kind of defeats the purpose for having a rosin core solder.I also received 5 tubes of this, and one of the tubes, inside, the solder was visibly smaller compared to the other 4 tubes.

With no mention of contents in the description – not even a vague ratio – I guess we’re left to find out for ourselves what components this solder might have and how it shapes up against familiar alternatives:I first set out to tin a new tip. My soldering station’s default temperature is about 392F. In spite of the description indicating a melting point of 185-190C, after sitting at 392F temp for a couple of minutes, and dipping in flux, I was not able to get solder to flow over the tip.At about 460F I got what I call a “dry flow” where the very tip of the solder slowly melts and can be brushed onto the tip but gently feeding solder onto the tip surface doesn’t change the rate of melting or increase the flow. I had to increase the temperature to 575F before I got anything close to normal flow over the tip. As I tend to work at 650-750F this isn’t a problem but I want to note how it compares to the description.The description also indicates the “rosin does not contain lead” – I assume they mean the surrounding wire composition - and the melting reaction and lack of telltale rosin oder does remind me of lead-free solder – that slightly chalky texture that never flows quite as freely as leaded solder.With the tip tinned I set out to solder stranded 20 AWG wires, which is representative of the kind of work I do on small bread boarding projects and musical instruments. At 650F this solder flows like most lead-free solders I’ve used. At 750F it melts and flows nicely and makes for quick work to avoid damaging components.Other tests I tried were attaching the same wire to pot lugs and the back. In spite of the solder containing rosin, the diameter is so small I find it helpful to apply a little flux even when there isn’t excessive oxidation present.I’m domestic and lead-free solder isn’t my first choice, but I keep it around for specific applications.Bottom Line: Higher melting point than advertised, but otherwise acts like common lead-free solders of this diameter.

I once bought a 2.5lb roll of solder, and the very first time I used it, I was working on a huge CNC router, up on a scissor lift, and my new roll solder rolled off the bridge beam where I set it down and it fell 10 feet to the concrete and the spool got smashed... and of Couse all the solder fell off the end like a huge slinky.... Those large rolls of solder are just not great when you are working anywhere that dropping the roll, or even managing the roll could be an issue. These nice little tubes of solder are a good size to throw into a toolbox where it can be used for repairs requiring just few joints to be soldered. I recently added a new valve to one of my CNC Routers, and used my cordless soldering iron with this solder, and it worked great! I didn't have my nice big workbench, I was soldering on an old carboard box, and this tube of solder helped make soldering the wires quick and easy, and I didn't have to figure out what to do with a whole big spool. Big spools are great if you are going to sit down at a workbench and solder up a bunch of stuff, but for working on just a few things in the field, these little tubes work great!The rosin core worked as well as I expected, and the diameter of the solder is suitable for the size wires I normally need to solder. I'm very happy with the ease of use and the quality of the soldered joints.

The descrition towards the bottom states: "Ideal for both professionals and hobbyists, our 60/40 rosin core solder wire ensures strong, durable. performance and ease of use. The rosin core solder wire is also available in a lead-free option," But in the up front bullets it states "HIGH-QUALITY：The solder wire material is of high quality, the rosin does not contain lead, and has no irritating gases."So most solder that has an inner flux core which is what I believe they are referring to in the rosin statement. But flus cores never contain lead, only the solder would contain lead. And another reviewer noted he said it didn't flow like 60/40 lead/tin combination solder so I am not sure that this may be Tin only or lead free that they mention which they state they also sell. Either way the description needs more work. To get five tubs for seven bucks is a decent deal but you should know what your getting as it does make a difference.
