I just realized that I need to invest in a good soldering iron, seeing that I dont have one. I have a gun, but that is just big and clunky. I need a more precision one. 40-50w with a very fine tip. Possibly an assortment of tips to add to it. Any suggestions?
 
Think so? I want a pencil one, the guns tips are way too big. I need this for precision modding, as I am looking to mod out some of my components pretty roughly.
 
I'm pretty good at soldering, although I havent done it in years so I may be a little out of practice. I took electronics in high school, and they taught us how to solder pretty well. But I'll check out the guide, thanks.
 
i like to solder things on amps my dad is fixing. he gets the parts, sets it up nd i do the solder work. i would have to say im gettin pretty good at it.! couldnt tell you what soldering iron to get though, ill ask my dad when he gets home.

It works nicley but is waaayyy more than what you need. I use it for building and repairing electronics.

I looked at that, and would like it, but $80 is a wee bit too much. It's not WAAAAAYYYYY more than I need, but a little more than I need. :D

I would like it, but I dont think I need that much of a temperature variance made available to me. I saw some good ones for pretty cheap, that was linked to me previously, so I think I will go with one of those.

Thanks all!
