- Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2024Great value and high quality solder. If you don’t mind the price, do yourself a favor and invest in solder like this.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2024I WAS reordering leaded .8mm at 100grams per roll. Finally paid attention to the Kester seemingly expensive solder, but doing the math for a 1 pound roll, it works out well!
It DOES still shine when cooled, which is a huge contrast to the cloudy look of the "cheap stuff". that happens to make it easier to check the work under magnification.
MOST importantly, this solder flows MUCH better than the off name brand. I thought the ugly work was my iron or tip, but turned out to be the weird named solder!
I definitely recommend upgrading to Kester if you have been use to the light rolls of Chinese off brands. I got another roll of .5mm wire for SMD work and am much more confident working the micro stuff now
- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2024Flows great, stays shiny. You end up using less solder
- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2024I did try it when I received it. It works well on copper, brass and anything that has been 'Tinned'. I'll start using it in earnest when my present roll runs out. The 0.031" diameter works well for electronic components. What's not to like?
- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2024great solder wouldn`t buy anything else works very well
- Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2024I previously used Kester 44 for decades, and recently decided to try a similar product from BG Chem. That worked OK despite the flux leaving behind more residue than Kester. This was until I got halfway through the spool where the solder had no flux. I pulled layer after layer off the defective spool until I saw smoke again, indicating rosin content. I was left with only a small amount of useable solder. That never happened with Kester 44. So I ordered more 44 from amazon, and tossed out the 'other brand' in the bin where it belongs. Now I'm back to not worrying about my solder, and of course I'm having excellent results.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2024Flows great!
