[Jewelry making - Article 00034] - [Orchid] Foxtail Vs Snake chain?

    I am in a conundrum for a necklace I am designing. It will have
    several components strung on it and I want to solder a custom made
    toggle on the ends. 

    Snake chain is a pain to solder....I've tried many of the
    suggestions on Orchid for soldering snake chain but I still am not
    having the kind of success & control I'd like. 

    Foxtail is suppose to be strong (stronger then snake chain?) and
    looks very similar to snake chain. 

    What are the differences between them? Is either one easier to
    solder on then the other. 

    I've studied the Rio catalog trying to figure out the pros and cons
    for each chain style. I want a strong, supple, easier to solder
    chain. Which one is it? Foxtail or Snake? 

Thanks.
