It does work good for lead free, couple things though.

- Make sure your tip is on there good n tight!

- Make sure your tip is tinned and clean.

- Turn the dial all the way up. and give it about 60 full seconds to heat up.

- if you are still having issues with your lead free joint, then melt some 60/40 on it first.

then it will all melt in just fine.
