Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Solder bonds very quickly and very cleanly. Melts quickly and smoothly, glues to the wire very well. Sticks like glue.

Don't forget some good flux and a small brush or two. Works great and it came in the handy tube dispenser.

Dang, this solder is nice. This solder is fantastic. Solder quality is superb.

Authentic kester brand solder is king for anyone new to soldering.



Cons

Not “haunting” mids, just “your grandma on a wheelchair asking for soup’. Get chinese solder. I get beads that either fall off of the board or they run up the iron.
