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

Perfect size and melting point for tinkering with circuit boards.

better off buying another brand

Wont buy anything else but Kester.

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

Good solder

Best solder i have ever bought.

This is the best solder I have used. It’s a bit expensive but you get a lot of solder and it makes beautiful joints every time.

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.

Perfect

works fine
