Review on πŸ”Œ Kester K100LD Lead-Free No Clean Wire Solder, 24-9574-7610, 0.020" Diameter - Affordable Low Cost Alloy with Enhanced SEO by David Ruwala

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best lead free solder I have found.

Despite all the hype about silver solder, despite the very low silver content, silver solder does not leave a shine, but a matt finish, even when properly prepared. Silver solder also shrinks and also looks like a cold joint with lead solder. Kester has done his homework with that. As a handyman I'm fine with using leaded solder but would like to get used to lead-free solder as I suspect there will eventually be a need to phase out leaded solder. To be commercially compliant with Rohs, you cannot use lead.

Pros
  • Using Kester 24-9574-7610 No-Clean Flux results in extremely clear solder residue without cleaning.
Cons
  • Short instructions
