  • I WAS going to correct the guy that said, "It's pronounced sole-der not sodder," but then I realized that his stupid comment is a year old and he has probably been corrected a thousand times already. I love YouTube.

  • Angry solder man, very angry. I think that his turtle neck was too tight around his neck.

  • ",,,,and that's how you solder a wire. And now I'm going home to beat my wife and kids....and dog."

  • @shield400 it's "sodder" you moron.  it's not shed u all either it's sked u all

  • Could this have been shot from ANY further away? Couldn't see what was going on, even with such a simple operation. So what's the point of making this video then?

  • Why did this guy make this video? Seems like he'd rather be doing almost anything else!

  • @shield400 Hi Shield, the word 'solder' comes from Middle English 'soudur' from Old French 'soudure' or 'soldure', from even earlier 'soulder', from Latin 'solidare' ("to make solid"). Language is always in flux (pun intended.) But it has been pronounced without the "L" for quite some time now.

  • If you were English you could speak our language, if you were intelligent you might understand why you can't..who cares you are only americans.lol. if your hands were cold would they be cod? no thats a fish (it lives in the sea) if they were cold you might find it difficult to fold (thats fold not fod) a sheet of paper {origami for the linguistic gymnasts amongst you there must be some}? because it sounded right to you doesnt mean it is remember ..not sure ask an englishman!

  • Mechanical connection... how about using a western union instead of just twisting them up? You'll get better results.
