Cardas Soldering Wire Quad Eutectic Silver Solder with rosin flux 1/4 lbs (113g) roll

Good stuff! Makes for nice, clean connections. Easy to use. Easier and neater by far than the nameless junk I bought at HD. No comparison. Flows at a good temp and is very consistent to work with. Recommended for electrical work. This diameter worked well for me when I soldered together my two harness halves for the new head unit in my Jeep. I will not go back to crimped connectors after finally getting set up to solder my connections properly. Recommended!

Greta and easy to use. High quality product and no cold solder joints. I work on guitars.

Just like my divorce - Expensive because its worth it!

Fantastic solder for audio applications that doesnt cost a fortune. Melts at very low temperature. Great solder joints. Fairly large quantity.

Nice clean burning solder

This is by far my favorite solder for a variety of reason first it is leaded this is a good sign as a lot of lead free solders have a high reputation of making cold joints. Next it is great because it uses great flux even if i got some oil from my fingers onto some of the joints i NEVER had a cold solder joint using this solder. It also is a Eutectic mix this means that it has a very low melting point compared to other solders and that all the metals in it are at least 99.99% pure. This solder also has both silver and copper in it and to anyone who knows how conductive those metals are would point out they are the 2 most conductive metals out of any other it is still mainly tin and lead but this is a nice touch for audiophile connections. Overall i would say this is the best solder Ive ever used. But keep in mind that it is leaded so you should work with it in a well ventilated area or with a fume extractor. Also keep in mind that it does use rosin flux which means you should get a flux cleaner if you dont want your circuit board covered in the flux residue.

Ive used other silver-based solders in the past for my custom cables that I build. Ive used smaller quantities of Cardas solder in the past. Buying 1/4 of Cardas off Amazon was a great find. The product is very easy to work with once I have my soldering iron dialed into the right heat level.

Im not the sort that subscribes to Cardas audiophile nonsense marketing ploys, but this solder is genuinely fantastic. It wets the first time, every time, and produces clean and solid joints every time. Surface mount, through-hole, point to point, doesnt matter, it does exactly what you tell it to each and every time. I use it for everything, because the sheer consistency and cleanliness it provides is invaluable for any electrical work. The melting point is a bit low for higher temperature applications, but for general consumer electronics it simply does not get better than this. I spent years of my life believing that I was simply bad at soldering, and that it was something I could never get good at -- and then my boyfriend gave me a roll of this. Have never bought anything else since.

One of the best solders to use as it has a low melting point

Great solder! Flows well and easy to use.
