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

Lo esperado

Best solder ever! Highly recommend MG Chemicals 835 Rosin Flux. Or Amtech for BGA stuff.

This is very much the good stuff as far as solder is concerned. The smaller diameter has proven quite useful for surface mount components.

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.

Just like my first husband. It absolutely melted. Then it got hard fast. Now it just conducts small signal volts everyday. 10/10

Great product.. Great price.

Kester makes quality, nuff said.

I am used to Alphametals made in Brazil. The trade mark is BEST and it is really the best. This one from Kester is not good at all. The flux core is not continuous, so when you stat soldering, some spots go fine and some dont. I need to use extra SMD flux paste to finish the job, what takes longer and compromises the quality. I would say do not buy, but these company took over the market and that is the only option we have. The other option is to import from BEST in Brazil.

Great product as expected from Kester. Top of the line solder, the only note I would make here is a pound is quite a large amount of solder, if you dont use much or you just have a small project to do you will have a lifetime supply. Great stuff, well packaged.

Since the Radioshack Solder I used was getting harder to find, I thought I would give this one a try. Up until this point I only used the Radioshack Silver Bearing Solder 62/36/2. After using this Kester 63/37, all I can say is this solder is awesome! Perfect for all my projects. I do a ton of SMD and IC work, and this solder works extremely well. I cannot notice a huge difference between this and the silver bearing, and this will be the solder I will use now. Do not hesitate to get this product, you will not be disappointed!
