Is there an iron and a desolder tool that makes ROHS as easy as SnPb used to
be?


Tin copper solder does not seem to wet as fast as SnPb.
I've found that using Hot air is the best for rework.
Otherwise you'll be lifitng pads.

So you also hate suckie SAC.


They say SAC 350 is best for hand soldering, which appears to be true.
Removing it, is a different story.
