Like Tex said, the 936 has been replaced by the 888 and is no longer produced.

I just bought a used 936 off of hippie, and it is 10 steps above and beyond anything radioshack sells. It is the right tool for the job.

I love using lead free solder. On all of my battery connectors and motor connectors I exclusively use lead free solder. It is a lot stronger than the 60/40 mix and flows a lot better if you have a soldering iron that can do the job properly. Lead free solder melts at higher temps so it might not be a best thing for really small components on a PCB but on bigger stuff it's all I use.
