AUSTOR 0 8Mm Lead Solder Rosin Review

Excellent low temperature lead free solder. At my station it melts at 215-250 which is ideal as I don't have to wait long. The only problem is that like most lead-free solders, it takes a second or two to solidify.

Used to solder a bundle of car speaker wires, worked great. This is a very thin wire, maybe more for fine soldering? I would like something thicker but had no idea what size I was looking for so it's my fault

Worth the money. It's a little stickier compared to leaded solder and requires a little more skill. However, it is of excellent quality and the rosin core leaves a nice shiny solder.

I first soldered a 1157 tail light bulb to wires when I was 5 years old. Since then, a 50-year career in consumer electronics and crafts has passed. I bought the slim version of this product because it is easier to use with smaller components. The product works, does not stick together, does not require high temperatures to melt and leaves no mess. It was a pleasant purchase.

Here in the US tin lead solder is still available and much cheaper. I can get 2 60/40 rosin solders https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FFPWWR3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for the price of a lead-free Sn/Ag/Cu (tin-silver -copper) wire . However, it's not worth the risk. This tin-silver-copper wire worked great. You need to increase the temperature of the soldering iron for lead-free solder.

I have mixed feelings about this solder but overall it's a really good solder and I'll come back to it when I'm on holiday. It runs smoothly and doesn't mess up your tips at all. It is inexpensive and lead-free. I use it often on my breadboards to create solder traces and it works well. Normal electronics is the best product. It's just a bit tricky when prototyping boards because it runs very smoothly and isn't as sticky as it could be. Overall I give 5 out of 5 points for your daily hobby…

This solder is great for the value you get with a $10 lead-free soldering coil. The reason for my poor rating is mainly because I found that the actual melting point of the solder I received was too high for the formulation listed. However, it definitely works like solder! I may have received a mislabeled product or one of the few defective coils in the batch, who knows! I may also be prone to rechecking and recalibrating my lab equipment, but certainly not because of the $10 spool of lead-free
