ROHS and irons and desoldering tools

Is there an iron and a desolder tool that makes ROHS as easy as SnPb used to
be?
I use an old GE iron; transformer has 4 terminals in a squa 35W,
29W, 26W, 32W (reading from top clockwise); "sec 6V35VA max" p/n
unreadable. Various screw-in bits "G.E. 6A215 V8 W25 L2" medium cone
which i use most of the time; "G.E. 6A211 V6 W23 CC" (large, chisel; and
"(G) 6A213 W25 V6 AL" small cone. [the (G) is a tiny version of the
circled GE symbol; all letters, numbers,symbols stamped into shaft of iron].
I use the 32W terminals, and a light dimmer set to 75 percent of full
for almost all work.
No setting change needed between tin/lead and tin/silver solder.
Tin/silver solder works easier and (obviously) shiner surface.
