- The suction pump could have a narrower solder-opening for the extraction of fine solder residues it is not suitable.
Own recommendations:
- I recommend in addition a cross tweezers and a fine ticket punch to apply if the intensive work is planned.
- For fine work, I use a 0,56mm thick solder (Pb38Sn60Cu2), for large boards, general links, connectors, etc. a 1.5mm thick solder (Sn99Cu1). This soldering iron no problem. I am of the opinion that one should use no lead for great work, but tend runs a lead-containing tin definitely better.
