Kester 24-6040-0053 Solder Roll, 66 Core Size, 0.050 Diameter

Kester is the best, Amazon has the price. This stuff can get expensive out there, you really have to watch out. You dont want to have to buy 20 ponds to get a good price.

quality solder, what else can one say

A familiar brand name and works as expected. Expensive.

Good stuff and quick shipment from seller, no problems.

Good packaging. Good solder. Will last a long time.

Works for me.

Great for vintage electronic restoration. Hardens quickly with nice shine.

I prefer the 0.050 size for a multitude of model railroad soldering tasks. It has bee hard to find. Glad to find a source, although it will be some time before I have to reorder.

Works great for me, very easy to work with. Will buy it again.

The product itself is fine if you dont need recent production. If youre buying it chances are you know what youre buying and dont need a review for that. I bought 2 different rolls from this seller (different diameters). The first one the cardboard box was a bit beat up. On both the place where the date of manufacture usually is was peeled off. They put clear packaging tape over the top of the entire thing which makes it less noticeable. If you didnt know there was supposed to be a date of manufacture there you would probably never know the difference. According to Kesters own website the shelf life for flux cored solders is 2 or 3 years (depending on formulation) which is why they put a date of manufacture on them. For what I do it really doesnt matter. But if youre buying them for an application where that is important you dont want to buy from Amazon/this seller. In the future Ill just spend more $$$ and go with Digi-Key so I know what Im getting hasnt been laying around for a decade. It seems disingenuous to sell something as new which has a shelf life and then to remove the information from the package which states when it was made.
