We use the JBC irons with and without the "leadfree" tips. We really have not noticed much difference between the standard and the lead free. The lead free tips do last a little longer but the tips are somewhat deformed by the extra plating. As f

Our facility helps customers clean no-clean soldered boards on a regular basis, and it definitely can be done but is a little more challenging than boards built with water soluble flux - one piece of advice I would give is to use low water pressure (
