Kester solder 44 Rosin Core #66/44 .8mm 1 lb. Spool

Great solder. One of the best I’ve used. I mainly build effect pedals as a hobby. I’ll definitely get another spool soon, definitely a larger diameter. I feel I use too much of this one. Other than that it’s great.

Pros: 1. Looks expensive but this is basically a lifetime supply of solder because I will probably never use a whole pound. 2. For me, .031/.8mm is great for general purpose. 3. Made in USA 4. They were not stingy with the rosin, which comes bubbling out of every joint I solder. 5. Flows very well and melts quickly. 420 degrees F has been a great temp to start at for small contacts and thin gauge wires. Cons: 1. Leaded, but I knew that going in. Work in a well ventilated area and wash your hands thoroughly afterward. Also, keep your work area clean. Leaded seems to be the only way to go if you want the best results.

Great product, exactly what I needed

I have been using Kester solder since the 1970s. Cheap solders seem to have more smoke and dont flow as well. That could be my imagination but I think Kester is worth the money.

Amazing solder, it honors its manufacturer reputation. Just a keynote: be sure you have the proper iron for the job with the proper temp control. For my application, I use a 350C for this solder

Works great.

Ive been using Kester solder for as long as I can remember ( at least 30 years +) and it is hands down the best solder around.
