Workstand Upgrade and Identification Kits
The new Auto-sleep Workstands has an insert with a magnetic core which helps increase tip life by allowing the tip cartridge to idle at a lower temperature, thereby reducing oxidation. The green insert offers high visibility to help identify Lead free applications from Leaded.
The stand also includes a brass wire wool cleaning compartment; this is required to remove heavy oxidization build up associated with the new Lead free process.
In addition, green bands that clip onto tip cartridges, identifying them as being used for lead-free processes, are available.
