Speed 4 / Price 4 / Quality 5

We have used Kester Solder in our PCB department for their solder paste, wires and flux products. Their solder and flux products are being used in the development of our PCB for our workstations and server products. We rely on their products because we do a lot of PCB assemblies and cannot afford any issue relating to the bonding of our components to the PCBs. In addition, we use the solder and flux components in our rework department - during debug and rework. They are able to supply us reliable products, technical data and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), which is a requirement through out our facilities.

Strengths: wide selection of products, product quality, great website, reliable product, technical data sheets

Needs to improve: none
