This is a special item. I mainly use it for PCB repair and hand soldering SMD - it's incredibly good and makes it easy to use just the right amount, it's also a lot easier to work with than some other brands of very fine solder as it doesn't breaks when you tighten it pull it off the reel. Kester makes amazing quality solder and there is enough here to last a very long time. Wait for it to go on sale, buy once, cry once and enjoy the best of the best for the rest of your life.
