Yeah, yeah "the right amount of heat"... blah, blah except none of
your ilk that have made this admission of ignorance have managed to
create many complete houses full of non-leak joints, reliably, with
it, so the world gave up waiting and went to PEX installations after
putting out dozens of attempts to resolve the lack of flow problems.

Maybe better insults would make your story more credible?

Yes I HAVE, many times. It DOES flow, with the proper flux and the
right
amount of heat. Granted, lead-based solder is much easier to use (for
less
capable morons such as yourself), but I'm certainly not going to use it
on MY
copper pipes through which my drinking water passes. Sounds like you
have no
about qualms doing so, which could explain a lot about your behavior.

for real solder you trolling flux-sucker.

PEX wouldn't be so popular if it wasn't for lead-free sludge.

That's what flux is for, ya top-posting flux-knuckle.

Lead free solder doesn't flow anyway. It doesn't matter what you
heat.

It does look like a nifty tool. I wouldn't buy one for the amount of
sweating I do, but it does look cool. As for what to heat - In my
opinon it
doesn't matter - the heat will transfer to both parts.

remember that thread a few months ago about heating the pipe or the
fitting??? Notice the tool clamps to the PIPE, NOT the fitting???

I wonder why???
Because it WORKS.
