    Lead free sucks ass and you can pry my leaded solder from my cold dead hands.

    Seriously just wash your hands.

            Leaded is objectively better for everything except health/pollution. Which is the point of RoHS.

            Leaded solder has a lower melting point, flows much better, easier to visually see bad solder joints, and doesn’t form whiskers. Also less brittle, so cracked joints are less likely.
