Kester Solder24-6337-8807 Kester Solder Solder Wire, 63/37 Sn/Pb, 183°C, 1 lb.

Great Solder. Kester is a great brand. Very clean and low fumes. Great for general electronics.

Melts like butter at around 200 C and wets like water. Amazing solder and with a hefty 1 pound spool, its gonna last for ages if you solder infrequently.

I can work with this at 250 Celsius and it works amazing on both SMD and Thru-Hole packages. The finish is very shiny and the eutectic nature of the alloy gives very clean finishes. The 1.1% flux is alright but using additional flux is very helpful because the flux in the solder evaporates quickly. Note for SMD soldering, 0603 packages is the smallest you should be soldering with this (mainly what I solder), its doable but even then you need to be careful to not apply too much. For smaller packages it is too big, for thru-holes its perfect. Overall brilliant product, absolute must have for hobbyists.

The best, hands down

You always get quality with Kester but this particular blend flows as smooth as silk when working on smaller electronics projects. Like butta Most people never know the difference a quality solder can make until they use a product like this side-by-side with the brand-x cheap stuff from the dollar store. its only then that people have that ahh haaa moment and then probably go back home and do the same thing with all the other junk that the thought didnt matter like chucking the one-temp plug in style soldering iron for a Weller or a Hakko and basically just understanding that you cant produce quality work with poor quality tools and materials.

If youre working with leaded solder, this is the standard. Been using it for year (decades..??). Easy to recommend.

This solder flows amazingly well. It Shines like it has silver load in it. Would recommend to anyone that is looking for high quality solder! If you get this solder make sure you pick up a Flux scrubbing brush with it as this is does leave a bit of Flux on the board.

This is an identical brand and part number that I can get at DigiKey for twice the price. Well worth it just to buy here. This is leaded so you run it colder than lead-less, 650 degrees, which works way better on thin tip Weller guns IMHO without the tip getting so hot it stopping wicking. There is enough tinning in the solder itself you dont have to pre-tin pen your PCBs. The solder is also thin, which makes fine work possible. I would work on a microprocessor and any little 1mm x 2mm resistors with no problem with this solder. This is a quality name brand at a good price.

This is far and away the cheapest retail for this product. I needed quality no-clean solder fast, and Amazon delivered. Im accustomed to using 2% or 3% flux, so I did have to turn the temperature up a bit on my iron, but it flows very smoothly. I am very pleased with my projects so far. Yes, there is a bit of cleaning afterward, certainly nothing like cleaning rosin flux for hours.

It is skinny and nice. Does the job quite well! The flux is good too. Also, there is so much, I will be able to use it for the next few years.
