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

This is what we needed and should last a while.

The best solder tin I bought and used

Good Solder works perfect!

works great, great conductivity

I purchased 3 different rolls of Chinese solder and all 3 were terrible . I will never skimp on solder again . The cost of the 3 were about what 1 roll of the Kester cost . I will be purchasing the Kester brand every time I need solder in the future for my hobbies . There is no comparison in the quality of the solder joints with the Kester being far Superior in Quality , Strength , Ease of Melting and Flowing .

The good stuff for electronics work.

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.

Its Kester--always the preferred brand for those in the know.

Great product. I would definitely buy in the future if I run out. Should last me a while

Good
