This is the good stuff. 60/40 with lead, yes please. This stuff flows into the wires and tins surfaces well. To the poindexter giving it a bad review because "lead", use in a ventilated area and don't take deep huffs of the vapor and I'm sure you won't suffer neurological damage. Besides being easier to work with, lead solder holds up over time much better than the lead free solder.
Highly recommended.
love this stuff for 9$ cant go wrong lasts for a long time if you dont do a lot of soldering. 5 stars for this one
Works great! The spool it comes on is really handy for storage and the solder itself is very clean and easy to work with. Excellent product!
It figures when there is a cheaper alternative, a Hibbert will find it. Money is power!!!
This rosin core solder is amazing and easy to use. If you're new to the hobby, use the Dr. Google machine to look up "What ratio of led is best for RC racing solder?" The well-thought-out thread suggests that the best ratio is 63/37. With this solder being 60/40, and for the price of $12.75 (at least for now), a person can't go wrong.
Something important to consider, especially for all you newbies, is that you get a LOT of bang for your buck. There's enough soldering wire that you can practice soldering without feeling like you're melting your money away. I'd go as far as saying this solder is the RC "industry standard," (I say industry standard loosely because a lot of people will disagree, of course); you get the idea. If you watch RC-related soldering videos on YouTube you'll notice a trend. The solder is extremely popular and can be seen in copious videos. I swear by the stuff and not just for my 8th and 10th scale racing machines, I.e., Kyosho MP9e Evo Inferno, MP10e Inferno, and Traxxas Slash 4x4s (x2 that I race in the SCT stock class).
I'm flabbergasted by reading the 1-star review by "Guy who spends too much...." It never ceases to amaze me how hilarious and off-putting the reviews can be. I'm sure we adults will be just fine, otherwise, I'll see you on the other side. Watch out for the dreaded neurological damage that comes with soldering little RC cars/trucks.
'This may be at a good price point, but neurological damage is not worth saving a buck. If you're reading this, take it from someone who works in healthcare: you don't want to be breathing lead vapors. This is why the government took lead out of paint and gasoline.'
WOW. JUST. WOW.
Ya and same healthcare worker gets in his/ her car and drives 20 mph over the speed limit changing lanes with no turn singles on the way home from a great health care day but that safety don't count right. Been using this solder for years no problems but common seance and a brain helped a lot great product from Amain
great roll of solder. Great price. size makes it easy to use the right amount, without wasting. The roll was bigger than I expected. I was buying tubes of solder before I purchased this...so much money wasted by doing that. The only better solder I have seen, was the Radio Shack solder that had nickel content, but that isn't readily available anymore.
This is probably the best solder I've used in a while. It flows really well and is easy to work with. I ended up taking out all the other solder spools I had in my toolbox and only use this one now.
Amazing solder, it flows easily, melts quickly and just about everything else you want from solder. I thought I was bad at soldering, but this solder makes me feel more confident in my ability
Great 60/40 hobby solder. I will only buy this stuff from now on. It works amazing and reflows great.
Quality Rosen core provides excellent results. Solders stick well without the use of any flux and come out looking shiny fresh. Highly recommend it.
I would highly recommend using solder that has ZERO lead in it. Most people solder in a confined area with sketchy ventilation. Breathing the aerosoled vapor from the solder--also known as smoke, would be literally breathing in lead (40%). This may be at a good price point, but neurological damage is not worth saving a buck. If you're reading this, take it from someone who works in healthcare: you don't want to be breathing lead vapors. This is why the government took lead out of paint and gasoline.
