If you are converting an assembly line (hand assembly) to Pb free, how much of the equipment would you feel is re-usable, if properly cleaned, and how much do you feel you would have to replace?
Also, any recommendations on how to clean, if you say it is cleanable?
For example, here are my thoughts and what I am not sure of:

Soldering iron base and wand    Keep or replace?
Iron tips                               Replace
Tweezers, cutters, pliers               Keep or replace?
ESD mat                 Keep or replace?
Lamp (inspection tools)         Keep
Garbage can                     Keep
work bench                      Keep
