Kester 24-6337-0027 Solder Roll, Core Size 66, 63/37 Alloy, 0.031 Diameter

Quality...thats what this stuff is. Save the Radio Shack junk for soldering wires...this is where its at. I solder every day, and wont use anything else. bonus...1lb. roll is the perfect size for throwing at somebody and leaving a mark that they wont forget. And since its 63/37 it wont spatter when you drip it on people or children.

Just right size for most applications

Ive been soldering off and on since I was 8 years old, and son to an electrical engineer, and now Im one myself. So I feel qualified to review solder. Firstly, when looking to purchase solder for your electronic projects you want to make sure your solder meets the following criteria: - If using lead based you want either 63/37 or 60/40 for a nice even melt - A flux core or multiple flux cores - A quality brand (Kester, Multicore, etc) You want to avoid the Won-Hung-Lo discount brands and bite the bullet and invest into a quality solder product. Your solder joints should be shiny and silver in color. If your solder joints are dull and grey or off silver or pitted.. You are using the wrong solder. I recommend Kester or Multicore solder as they are both consistent performers and both are quality products. I also highly recommend a good temperature controlled soldering iron. It doesnt matter if its analog or digital but dont skimp on your iron either (Hakko or Weller, and not the type you plug directly into the wall). This particular thickness of solder is suitable to thru-hole and large component soldering. However if you intend to solder surface mount you will want a smaller thickness of solder anything .020 or less is more suited to SMD (or solder paste and a heat gun). You wont be disappointed with the quality of the Kester solder products.

Want it thicker, triple strand and give it a tight twist. Great solder, only the best.

solders at lower temperaturres for the smaller wire. hate lead, but lead free burns insulation off wire It does the job!

During the chaos of holiday shipping, electronic assembly supplies were delivered ahead of schedule. A Happy Holiday surprize.

This is some of the best solder I have ever used. It flows very well and has a consistent melting temp. Kester has been making quality solder since before I was born. You cant go wrong with this solder unless you are looking for lead free solder.

Easy melt, flows great and makes great connections.

Getting this solder made me twice(conservatively) the solder guy I was. It melts fast, and is more forgiving than 60/40. Not kidding, I’ll never buy anything else, and for what I do this roll is going to last a while. Thanks for the great product, Denny

Good
