Customer Reviews for Bernzomatic 12 in. Aluminum Brazing and Welding Rods

It was just what I needed and they associates even helped me find them at closing time.

I bought it for my brother but he changed all his plumbing to PVC so I returned it with no problems, always good at Home Depot.

Great product, but the amount of product you have is reduced, once it has melted.

Used to weld on a aluminum bicycle frame. Worked great and very strong.

Worked very well needed a higher temperature connection than solder could provide.

After carefully cleaning the material, the Al3 would not bond to the material i was welding. The AL3 was too soft and the weld did not hold

Not a good substitute for structural welding. It acts like solder more than a weld.

Well made product. Beware the cheap ones from Harbor Freight. People have had problems with those

I wrote an e-mail to the company that produces this product, and I did so on their own internet form. My question had to deal with quality control and flux issues with these rods. I got no reply. I then wrote a paper letter about my concerns, including about the earlier lack of company response to my e-mall. I got no response to that, either. Companies need to stand behind their products, and part of that means customer service assistance. Therefore, I strongly recommend that shoppers use other companies' brazing and welding products. Many of them are just as good and some superior. I do not know as of this moment if Home Depot sells alternatives, but the internet has other suppliers. I buy from a couple of t hem, but only picked up this brand at Home Depot because it was convenient when I was there buying other products.. Bernzomatic's bad customer service very likely applies to other of their products as well. Thank you.

Couldn't get it to work like the videos at all.

Worked great. Thank you!

Very straight forward and easy to use. Repaired small holes left from an old piece of equipment that was removed from an aluminum boat. I keep them on hand for an emergency repair now.

Works great, would recommend this product

Was able to fix a walker with this.

Used and entire bottle of map gas and three brazing rods trying to fix a small hole in an aluminum boat. Saw a lot of videos online they show a very easy process. Not the case however. At least not with these rods. Aluminum never reached a temp to melt rod. Rods broke off in about 1/8” pieces and fell off boat. #jbweld for the win!

I used the 750 degree rod for braising aluminum. Experience is needed to make the join neater, however, the final result is strong and was fast to joi.

Worked like expected. If you know how to braze. They will be fine.

Didn’t work on aluminum as anticipated.

Dot work for me. Would not heat high enough for what I was doing
