Quoted from Ballsofsteel:no i use lead based. i only do this once in a while if nobody is around to help. it's not what i'd recommend to do, but when i have to do it i do. i use my hemostat when i can, if i'm not working with boards or fragile parts.
haha, guess i shouldn't be recommending this to people that actually care about their health. i know i'll die someday, so i'm not too worried.
Reminds me of when I was a kid and used to crimp on lead split shot fishing weights with my teeth. People are hysterical about solder. I love it whenever someone links out to that pin site with the long ass list of ways solder is going to kill you and your family. That lead free stuff is crap, I refuse to use it. I guess everyone has something to paranoid about these days.
