Kester 24-6337-0010 44 Rosin Core Solder 63/37 .020 1 lb. Spool

Great product. I would definitely buy in the future if I run out. Should last me a while

A+++

Perfect gauge for fine circuit board work.

Me a gustado mucho, buena calidad.

Never used 63/37 before, but needed to solder a miniUSB power socket onto a PCB. Hit all pins with no mess, and I used it to finish soldering the through-hole parts onto my project. It is now the only solder on my bench.

Perfect quality And good product

I use this solder for putting together mechanical keyboards, which involves both through hole and SMD soldering. This is high quality solder that flows smoothly, leaves clean joints, and has minimal splatter. Its also fairly easy to desolder with the aid of a solder-sucker when I make a mistake. If I ever run out (1 lb is a lot!), I would not hesitate to buy again.

This review is not of the Kester solder, but the seller, Kimco Distributors. I ordered a 1 lb roll of Kester 44, and when it came the spool was covered in sloppy packing tape, and the actual solder spool had a birds nest. I take that term from bass fishing - its meant to describe the mess you get when you use a baitcasting reel (which has a spinning spool) and dont stop the rotation before your lure hits the water. As I pulled solder off this spool, it was coming out from underneath many layers of solder which was deeper into the roll, but physically on top. So I kept getting kinks. I managed to cut a bunch of it away (had to throw away solder) and got down to the deeper part of the spool, where it was coiled tightly, but now still, the solder is coming out from inside of the spool. Its possible that this was screwed up at the Kester factory, but I doubt it. Is this seller re-spooling their solder, and doing a sloppy job at it? It makes me question whether Ive really got genuine Kester 44 at all, in fact.

As advertised. Easy to work with.

Great solder. Im an electrical engineer and use it pretty regularly. No issues.
