A week or so ago, there was a posting on whether hand soldering equipment will need to be changed to handle lead free solder. The only hand solder iron mentioned was a Metcal, and I am wondering if anyone out there is using Wellers? We use Weller Irons with 700 degree tips. Any advice is welcome. Thanks Marie Marie A.
