>>>> COMMERCIAL PITCH WARNING <<<<

I am, of course, required to be biased, but I think you will find general 
agreement throughout the industry that Metcal systems excel when used with 
surface mount applications.

Metcal systems use a patented and unique technology that gives far better 
temperature control and delivers more heat at lower temperatures than 
conventional irons. They're more ergonomic, require less skill to operate, and 
are far less likely to cause board or component damage.

Take a look at the Metcal home page at http://www.metcal.com/home.html for 
product specific information, or visit the PCB Rework & Repair Exchange at 
http://www.metcal.com for more generic technical information on rework issues.

Subject: SMC Replacement system

We recently started using one surface mount component on our boards.  This
component is mounted on the boards by a contractor.

I am looking for a SMC replacement system that can do replacement and when
needed mount component on the boards.

Could I please have some suggestions as to which SMC replacement system is
more efficient and easy to work with?
