KESTER SOLDER 24-6040-0027 Wire Solder, 0.031Dia., Pack of (1),32117

Melts and flows well, easy to use.

Repairing electronics radios, etc....

I have used solder of all types for over 50 years, tried many brands in that time. Kester solder has always proved to be the best to use. Found it is the best flowing and ability to properly adhere to object being soldered. No cold solder joints! Would recommend any of Kester solder types.

Best solder made. Flows great just like it has since I’ve been buying this brand since the 1980s.

This is the brand my son prefers to use.

Good prize

I have used some other solder, probably from China and have to say the it simply didnt have the right composition (sometimes cold or weak solder joints). In contrary, I been using Kester for many years and had always the desired results. So, I switched back to Kester.

Ive struggled with soldering USB-C ports on multiple occasions. Cheap solder likes to lump up and not flow properly. This caused shorts on a couple of my PCBs. When I switched to this solder, I was surprised how easy it was to work with. Ill never use a different kind of solder again.

Well, my 1980s spool of Radio Shack solder is just about used up. About four wraps left. Time for a new roll. This product is what you would expect for the price you pay. It isnt cheap, but you get what you pay for. Kester is known for a quality product and that is what you get. Since the old spool of Radio Shack solder lasted so many years, I expect I will have to put this roll of Kester in my will. The kids will probably fight over it.

Disclaimer: I am NOT an electrical technician, but I pretend to be one around our place, cuz Im basically a cheap SOB and hate paying someone to fix stuff that I think I can do myself. Im also married to a woman that I cautiously refer to as Tool Killer Jones, cuz if its got a motor or an engine, trigger or a switch, shell find a way to use it for something it was never intended for and eventually itll end up on my bench. That said, where oh where has this stuff been all of my life? Recently added a REAL soldering station to my arsenal, but discovering Kester solder has been the icing on the cake. I dont want to encourage them to charge any more for it, but even with the little bits that I use in a year, I can see no reason to bother with anything else. Lifes too short, and time wasted fooling with the cheap stuff is something I will never get back - for any amount of money, so Kester it is.
