I am using a Pace 250 rework station with tweezers and hot air. solder 
pen,desoldering pen. Works good with both lead and no lead solders. Just 
need to keep the tips in separate racks. Nice with auto off. and temp 
set back. Tips are a little pricey but with the setback you don't burn 
too many up.
