Tools and Hardware Reviews of Super Solder Wire 60% 1.0mm Diameter - 1lb Spool
Customer Review: Great for Electronics
Summary: 5 Stars
It's leaded solder - if you're doing PCB/electronics soldering, it's what you want. (lead-free junk is icky to work with in comparison) The solder thickness is also pretty ideal for PCB/electronics applications.
Needless to say, it's always good to have some solder around and a 1 lb. spool will last you a while. For the price, you can't go wrong.
Customer Review: Nice to use the 'real' thing
Summary: 5 Stars
No fluffy praise here - it just plain works great. 1 Spool is PLENTY for years of occasional projects
Customer Review: SUPER SOLDER WORKS! (perfect for mobos!)
Summary: 5 Stars
The new "LEAD FREE SOLDER" basically bites. You cannot effectively use it on (new) motherboards. It either rolls right off where you want the solder to adhere, or it takes way too much heat and time to heat to a melting point. So, thank the good Lord that some folks still stock regular ("LEADED")solder! I will definitely be buying more regular solder that isn't "lead free." I got mine from the folks listed here, but you can get it a lot of places on the internet. If you goto your local hardware store and/or even Wallyworld, they may or may not know how to help you out. I find it best to utilize the internet for finding out where to buy stuff online, or who might keep it on the shelves in town.
I can deal with a label or even a stamp warning about dangers involving "lead", (that's in the solder) but they are taking it out of solder, and thats making my job a real challenge. The new kind of solder does NOT work well motherboards. You can take that to the bank. My advice to anyone that works in the industry to get the regular "leaded" type of solder--and stock up on it in case it becomes "UNAVAILABLE" to us!
So, stock up on the "old school" solder if you expect to be working on any motherboards and/or other computer devices which might require solder!
Customer Review: Solder Wire
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to try the uper Solder Wire and I was not disapointed although I had some doubts it would do as good a job as the traditional Rosin Core solder (which I also ordered, just in case ...)Customer Review: Solder is NOT Solder
Summary: 1 Stars
I am an electronics engineer and I have been soldering for over 36 years. This is, without any shred of doubt, the worst junk I have ever put to an iron. This rosin core does a terrible job of cleaning and deoxydizing joints and the solder does not flow as a result. Not only that, but it leaves a mess that is hard to clean up. I threw the spool in the trash, as it wasn't worth the effort. Do yourself a favor, spend the few extra dollars and buy name brand solder like Kester.
