We go over the 3 main types of solder and which you should use for your application

i like this kind of videos that is informative and short compared to others who keeps saying nonsense just to make their content longer

[srsykes]

Great! Short and to the point. You gave us the what AND the why, thanks

[mnavarrotube]

That was fast a clear. Going straight to the point. Thanks

Lead free solder works perfectly fine, but as you stated, the soldering iron tips burn out incredibly fast. I don't even think it's temperature related because I use the same max temperature for every kind of solder. There's something in the solder itself that destroys the tip.

I'm just getting into soldering, so this was very helpful. Thanks for posting. I'm going to thumbs up and subscribe to support your channel!

it's about three years after you posted this, in a different timezone, how did you know i'm watching in the afternoon.

[bryanbecker]

You are awesome. Very likable. Thank you for this video.

[josemilian]

Great video. A lot of good information.

I'm with you the old lead solder is always the best. Even when i started its the only that allows for professional work really. Everything else just balls up and rolls and you have get drop techniques to even use it. But the led as long as your iron is hot enough allows for easy application and rarely do you have to redo a joint.

Yeah, I tried the no-lead one. In making motorcycle clutch cable ends, I just could not get the solder to melt around the cable end very well and, well, the result consistently looked raggedy. Gonna try the tin-lead-silver you recommend.

Ok I know this is an old video but I have some gripes.

Tin/lead solder can be eutectic or non eutectic. 63/37 vs 60/40 for instance.

The lead free stuff is harder to work with, slower to wet that is, but is usually SnCu or SnCuAg. So nothing "as bad as lead" in it. Using lead free solder won't ruin your tips as long as you separate your tips between lead and non lead because it's the mixing of the two that messes things up.

Personally I like to work with 63/37 rosin core but these days I have to order it because finding lead alloy solders in consumer stores has gotten harder and harder.

[FixItWithMe]

So u can use either two for both plumbing and electrical wires??

[keving]

Can you solder electrical cables with it?

[eugenegress]

Would silver bearing solder be good to solder Fishing Stainless Steel wire to wire, or a split ring, to keep from streching open. ???

[duaneborgaes]

🤔I'm a beginner... (🤷and have both them wires) 💯Thanx for telling the difference, & also about the unleaded/Rohs type😎👌🏁✨

[electrolatif]

Oatey 95/5 solder, is it good for soldering aircon piping?

[howardcortez]

I wish you will show the label on the product you are showing

[maybeakshh]

The best is 60/40 lead and tin solder, 2 core seems good. Who need 5 core rosin.

[MagicPlants]

What's as equally bad as lead in the lead-free?? You say it does but it's so important that you don't name it?? BS!
