Is the solder that comes with this item lead free?

No. It's 60/40 (Pb/Sn) resin core solder, used for soldering electric components. Lead free solder doesn't work very well for electrical soldering because it has a higher melting temperature and doesn't flow as well into a joint. I actually use a very thin (.025") resin core solder for my circuit board work. If you do use solder containing lead, just make sure you use it in a well ventilated area. Lead free solder is used for copper plumbing and such, and you have to clean and flux the joint before soldering. Hope this helps.

Sorry I can't confirm either way. The solder comes exactly as pictured, coiled like a spring, no identifying marks on the solder or on the box. I actually had my own lead free so just used that.

According to the manufacturer it is lead free. It has a symbol "92" stamped on it that indicates that it has a minimum o 92 percentage of tin in the alloy, meaning to me is the rest is copper, antimony or bismuth. That's the best that I can help you with. Maybe check the web sit for the tankard. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I don't know whether it is exactly lead-free. You would need a lab test for this answer if you don't trust the seller.

I'm sure it is lead free. Lead paint is rarely used, and would have to come with a warning. Especially with a product intended for children.

I do not know if it is lead free nor do I know if it has been tested. Can't find the manual but if I do I will post the information.

Per Godinger.com, the crystal on their site has a Prop 65 warning for lead. Contacted them and they state this particular item is LEAD FREE.

Yes it is lead free it is all stainless. As far as we know. It works perfectly too. My husband used it to replace a plastic spigot in my glass sun tea jar, which I use every other day :)

I do no remember it coming with solder but Radio Shack has rosin core solder and soldering irons. Use a 25-30 watt iron and small diameter solder and you should be o.k.

It is just Standard solder... not like the type used on circuit boards....good for basic soldering needs...

my research says yes using 400 + degrees. Use adjustable temp control. I have not tried the lead Free solder Geri

No soldering needed. It came with the IC chip and a home button. It has adhesive on it, at least the one that I ordered did.

yes it is , but you got to remerber that you pay for what you get and this is a cheap one.allso make sure you get a de-soldering wick and a de-soldering pump that is to get the old solder out .that said i do use this one,but i do not solder to much.

I don't know. I believe it is totally lead free though. They sell it at most auto parts stores.

As far as I know brass doesn't have lead in it. I've had and used mine for a while with no problems.

I'm betting that warning is given to cover the wacko laws of the State of California. I've taken my unit apart and have seen no lead solder or any other source of lead. It could be that some odd part might have a lead ratio of one lead atom to a trillion of some other metal. Masterbuilt is a reputable company. I seriously doubt if they are going to put any product on the market with a measurable lead content. They are big on customer service and satisfaction. Buy the unit and enjoy it!

Oh golly, I'm sorry, I have no idea about the lead. I would assume it's lead free, but that's just my guess. I really enjoy mine.

No soldering but.. Be careful to plug in antenna... And I'm not real happy with the end result.
