This is some really clean flowing solder. Ive been doing microminiature electronics work for several years and have a few schools under my belt to prove it, but this solder has to be the cleanest flowing solder I have ever had the pleasure of using. It helps to make quick work of solder joints so you should not have to spend too much time applying heat to high traffic areas. I believe this solder would definitely lessen your chances of measling the circuit board or damaging any non-metallic shielding.

In general I like working with this solder; but it does tend to collect, or glob up on the end of my soldering iron. Its very sticky. But it melts easier than the lead free stuff. I guess you should make sure youre in a well ventilated area when using this stuff, I dont think breathing in the lead solder fumes can be good for you. Im using it mostly for arduino, raspberry pi, embedded programming type circuits. Havent tried it w/ any SMD components yet. It will take me a long time to go through all of this solder, you get a good amount for your $. Id buy it again and look forward to practicing more with it.

As I am getting reaquainted with electronics I remember how great Kester flows. Cant go wrong!

Good product

It’s solder. It has resin. It flows and makes connections. Isn’t solder pretty much a 1-star or 5-star thing? Is there artisanal solder that I’m missing out on? This stuff works, and it works very well. Buy it.

I prefer Kester solder and have always achieved good results using Kester Solder. This size is my go to for general solder tasks and a one pound spool last a long time.

After spending the last year soldering tiny whoops, headphone cables, TRRRS connectors, MIN XLRs, etc... and often times getting frustrated with not getting good results, I upgraded my iron to a Hakko FX888D-23BY and while I did get good results with the leaded solder I was using, I still struggled with getting good flow and not having to turn my iron up. Bought a roll of this of many folks recommendations, and problem solved! I was able to turn my iron down, solder those pesky 4 pole and 5 pole headphone jacks, tine whoops, etc. with ease and the joints look amazing and are strong. This solder is the real deal and reminds me why I fell in love with the hobby as a kid.
