Pros & Cons
Pros
Taiwanese manufacturers typically carry a higher mantle of quality, and this is no exception. Kester is very reliable. Excellent solder when compared to all the cheaper ones out there.
Solder runs perfectly. We do a lot of custom hotrod wiring and this solder is amazing. Great for my modular builds. Good size for all-around electronic repair servicing.
Unspools nicely, melts nicely, flows nicely. Less splattery than cardas while smaller.
The joints shine like polished silver. Cools shiny with perfect fillets.
Cons
With a good weller soldering station at low heat the solder leaves a thick brown residue and requires additional flux to get a smooth solder. Lead damages the brain, and causes cancer, high blood pressure, and violent/criminal behavior.
Highlights
Quality
Works great and easy to work for a clean solder finish
Found it is the best flowing and ability to properly adhere to object being soldered
It melts easily flows to the component connections and leaves little flux residue from its rosin core
Kester is known for a quality product and that is what you get
Price
Definitely worth the money you’ll have it forever because there is so much
Worth every penny over the value brands
Don’t waste your money for cheap junk
This product is what you would expect for the price you pay

Competitiveness
I have tried to use many other solder brands and none work as well as genuine kester
Dont worry about your solder connections later as other brands dont work as well
It is almost odorless and remains shiny on the tip of your iron longer than the competition
I always find myself reordering kester solder having used many other brands

So i take off how much i think i’ll need and maneuver the solder that way

Otherwise it’s just too heavy to maneuver the whole spool
