Kester 24-6040-0053 Solder Roll, 66 Core Size, 0.050 Diameter

Awesomeness

We all have come to a conclusion that any level of lead exposure can lead to detrimental health outcomes. Having said that, In the world of electronics If you are like me you will agree that nothing comes close to leaded solder especially when you are dealing with antique electronics. Even with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive initiative (ROHS) lead free blah blah whatever you might call it.. You need to dab it with good old lead first to de-solder it. Having a pound of Kester 60/40 on your desk at all time is doctor recommended for fixing your antique electronics stuff. I have been using Kester all my life and I have been in this electronics business all my life. I would not buy any other soldering lead product other than Kester. It is the very best. It flows easily and makes your solder joints, balls, whatever shine better than your bald head. Play it safe. Always keep your fume extractor or poor mans Salvaged old Desktop PC fan running on your desk whenever you use leaded solder and ROSIN flux. Rating the product with five stars - Recommended buy!

Hey, its Kester. Count on it.

Good! The right diameter, works well. I first bought a roll of .031 and it was too thin for the soldering I do (coax connectors, 14 or 16 ga wires, etc.) This size is much better. The .031 might be the right choice for circuit board work.

this is nice stuff flows nicely and leaves nice shiny solder joints the gauge is nice for doing slightly bigger stuff, for very small work I would go with the .031

A familiar brand name and works as expected. Expensive.

This is the industry standard for electronics. It wets easily and make an extremely strong chemical bond. I make microphone and instrument cables and the .050 size is the perfect size. Note its a bit easier use if to pull some off the 1lb spool - until you use about of third of it.

Fast to ship! Item exactly as described!

Just as described!

Kester solder is one of the finest solders in the world! Melts easily and flows beautifully! Very economical because youre getting 1lb (450g+), not 50 or 100g like many of the other brands.
