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

exelente...

This is very much the good stuff as far as solder is concerned. The smaller diameter has proven quite useful for surface mount components.

The best solder tin I bought and used

Great

Nothing

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.

excelente en todo!

Got tired of the Chinese solder I kept buying, so I bought this. Its flawlessly shiny, and the smell reminded me of how soldier should smell, just like dads old rosin core Kester. But yeah, avoid the Chinese crap. Good solder isnt even much more expensive.

Prefer this smaller size for a lot of electronic work as it wicks better - does not ball up like .030 can. I do use .030 as well though. For most applications use this 63/37 not 60/40 it flows much better and gives a better looking joint

Very good quality And very good seller
