Good solder for hobbyists

As an electrical student, I use quite a bit of solder. This material is the best I've ever used. Unlike 60/40 solder, 63/37 does not have a very wide range of ductile temperatures, so it hardens quickly after the iron is removed. As much as I love the idea of using lead free solder and would recommend it for industrial applications, lead solder is far better to work with at home. Lead-free solder requires higher temperatures that can damage delicate components if left unattended.

Pros
  • Non-corrosive and electrically non-conductive flux residue
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
