This solder is exactly as described as far as I can tell. I am a (relative) novice in soldering but everything looks fine. I actually meant to order the thinner stuff but that's not the seller's fault. I just forgot to check. This size will work. This is easily the best solder I've ever used. Granted, I have only bought solder 2-3 times in the past and that was years ago. The last time was lead free solder. I did not realize it was inferior because I was only thinking about the fact that I wanted solder without lead and didn't know any better.
I have a new iron on order but the solder arrived before the iron so I tried this out with my OLD iron (easily over ten years old). It's just a cheap 30 watt Radio Shack iron with a horribly ruined tip (I have only recently been doing research on how to solder). Once it got up to temp, this solder seemed to flow and stick to 18 gauge stranded copper wire just fine and made a strong joint.
My new iron was also cheap and will be a 30 watt but (assuming it actually works) I'm sure this solder will be fine for it. No more often than I actually need to solder anything, this roll will probably last for years. It's just the kind of thing you need in your toolbox even if you don't use it all the time.
Anyway, never heard of this brand but it seems perfectly fine if you need this size.
