Review on πŸ”Œ Quality Tin Lead Rosin Core Solder Wire by AxPower - 5-Pack Assortment with 0.5mm to 1.2mm Diameter for Effective Electrical Soldering (50g Each) by Jimmy Scaturro

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not what I'm used to.

I've been away from electronics for a while. I've never used lead-free solder before. This solder works, but does not melt, flow or cool as expected. The solder joint is matte, not shiny like my old lead solder. It also needs more heat. I heat my iron to 675 degrees Fahrenheit to make it act like my old lead solder. I still have some. Otherwise it seems like a good value.

Pros
  • {HIGH QUALITY} AxPower flux is much more stable at high temperatures and high temperatures than most organic fluxes. This results in minimal smoke, tidiness and easy-to-clean residue.
Cons
  • Socket required
