What about the fumes?
Fumes don’t contain lead, it’s not nearly hot enough. Those fumes are flux burning.
That’s good.
But I still don’t get why someone would willingly use lead when lead free works great.
I mean the RoHA for example exist for good reason.
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.
Sure but it works well enough if you have just a little skill.
