    I'm not sure about that. I use a employee purchase acct number from the company I used to work for and it gives me a small discount , but not on close out items. I would give them a call and ask.

    If you buy the grainger solder remember it is not 100% tin, only 63% of the 16 oz. roll is tin.
    Figure it a grains, 7,000 per one pound, of which 4,410 grains will be tin of the Grainger solder.

    tin

    I got to my local hardware store and buy spools of 95-5 solder. It's 95% tin, 5% antimony. Works good, reasonably priced.
