RoHS coil wire... yay or nay?

RoHS is a standard, stands for "Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive", what you are looking at is probably just generic nasty china-wire. Would avoid unless it's really cheap (>R100) and you use it for practice. What you are ideally looking for is Sandvik Swedish made wire (the type kidney puncher re-brands) or Flatwire UK. My 2c

You’re right! RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is really about limiting lead, cadmium, mercury, and other harmful substances in electrical/electronic components. It’s less about the wire brand itself and more about whether the product complies with the directive. RoHS testing ensures materials meet safety and environmental standards before being used in manufacturing.
