I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 just because people have a hard time trusting 5 star reviews and therefore rarely read them. That thing impressed me! Here's what I know so far. The drop I let cool on my iron tip started to melt at around 210Β°C (I slowly increased the temperature). Test solder on the attached photo at 300Β°C with clean surfaces and no additional flux. Contrary to some reviews, the roller I received had flux in the core (which is clearly visible in the photo) and wet the surfaces well.
