i swear that stuff is trash, I rather just strip wire. Always ends up oxidized and hard to solder. Maybe its good for production work but no way I would pay for that
I come across so many rolls of bare wire that were too corroded to use. it just causes problems and people asking 'why wont the soldering iron work??"
I've been getting bare copper wire from CAT6 cables for the past few years and now I'm tired of the stripping process. I used tinned copper wire like this in the 20th century and the experience didn't seem that bad, maybe it wasn't stored long enough.
I'll report back once I find out it doesn't work well.
you usually come across a roll thats corroded, 90% intact and then when you wanna replace it for 100$ its like no metal does not go bad.
I don't even wanna buy it commercially for a lab, for the sake of the future. Only in a factory.
honestly, store it in a container with some dessicant. Better yet, wind a small spool and store the rest with oxygen absorbers and dessicant in a vacuum bag.
Like literarly at work I can see you having to incorporate it into a procedure for doing whatever, then like 5 years later someone talks crap about your work when they try it because they still have tons of the stuff.
