Works great
Seems to be good soldering wire it seems like it work alot better than the stuff I had b4 I thought I needed a new soldering gun but so far this is working great. I mainly use it for rc cars an stuff. And I’d definitely recommend it!

Acceptible solder in unacceptible packaging
I got this to try it out, as I do quite a bit of soldering for hobbies. I usually use a .6mm solder, but this was offered for review, so I decided that I may as well try it out. I will list pro’s and cons as I believe that would be the best way to present the points in this case.Pros:- It works like solder should- Melted at 320 just fine, and stuck to pads on PCB- Good amount of solder for the price- Came decently fast- SeemsCons:- Oh the packaging, it is horrible, two sub-items here1. The clear plastic around the spool is very (for the lack of better word) brittle, and came of in multiple pieces instead of one or two large pieces, because it was breaking apart2. The sticker holding the solder tight. Who in their right mind puts a sticker with that much crappy adhesive on a roll of solder. This is an issue, and I could see it in the first contacts I soldered, residue from the sticker was melted into the solder (I tried getting as much off as I could beforehand, but alas I couldn’t get it all). They need to come up with a better method to hold the loose end of the solder.All in all I will give it 4 stars, as it does what solder is supposed to do, but the packaging is not good, so I am deducting one star for that.

Eutectic alloy of leaded solder. Consider SN100C instead if you’re concerned about lead.
This is a medium sized roll of classic rosin core leaded solder. This solder isn’t used commonly in commercial applications anymore, because everyone has switched to RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) lead-free formulations. But sometimes you need to make repairs to vintage electronics or old projects without mixing solder types, and this is great for that purpose. The .032″ diameter is a good medium size to stock that’s appropriate for small electronics work while still being usable for larger soldering if you need to work on bigger projects.Leaded solder comes in two formulations, 60/40 and 63/37. I far, far prefer 63/37: that alloy is ‘eutectic’, which means it goes immediately between liquid and solid, melting and solidifying at the same temperature. That makes it much more predictable and reliable to work with. If you have the choice, I definitely recommend you choose this formula instead of 60/40.AIM is a very reliable manufacturer of solder and I’ve used their products for years. Once upon a time, I would have said that beginners in soldering should stick with leaded solder like this product because it’s easier to work with, but I’ve changed my opinion – a lead-free formulation called SN100C is available from AIM that’s also an eutectic alloy and just as easy to work with as classic leaded formulations. So if you’re just looking for generic solder to keep on hand, consider splurging for SN100C to keep yourself safe from lead while doing hobby or small-batch production work. But if you need leaded, this works well.

Good amount for the price
Works good, stuck on my wires without needing a huge amount of heat. You get a good amount of solder for a fair price. Not much else to say it. You need solder, this stuff works.

Use with a soldering iron to attach wires together.
AIM Solder 63-37 Tin Lead Rosin Core Solder Wire for Electrical Soldering 0.032inch, 0.5lb (0.8mm / 227g)First impressions: Nice standard roll of solder, ready to use. The solder seems a standard size and looks well made.Installation/setup: Use with a soldering iron to attach wires together.Final thoughts: I use a lot of solder to make the Halloween props for my hobby. I use it to connect the wires for the motors and lights. This is perfect for my hobby. I prefer to solder the connections rather than using wire nuts because the joins are more sturdy and are less likely to fail. I like this and Iâm glad I got it.âï¸1 star – I don’t recommend it at all, poor quality.âï¸âï¸ 2 stars – I don’t recommend it, it has multiple faults, or a very high price.âï¸âï¸âï¸ 3 stars – It’s passable, It has some faults but the quality is ok for what it is.âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸ 4 stars – Product quite acceptable, it does what it promises.âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸ 5 stars – Product that I totally recommend.

I’ve purchased my fair share of much less expensive solder; some was ok and some I abandoned after using just a few times. I no longer gamble on the quality of the solder purchased and stick to brands like Aim, Kester, or MG. I like the 63/37 a little better than the old standby 60/40 because the 63/37 is eutectic, meaning it solidifies very quickly without going through that “slush” stage that 60/40 goes through when it starts to solidify. You get better solder joints because there’s less chance of the parts moving around while the solder is cooling, which can result in a poor solder joint.
