There are some great posts by experienced modders here. I’m not one, but I want to start making simple modifications beyond swapping reflectors. For example, swapping out a 5a linear driver for a 5a buck in a Convoy S6.

For a simple job like unsoldering two wires then soldering them, is there a small usb or battery-powered iron that would do the job without spending too much on the initial investment?

Any input is appreciated!

    Pinecil, TS80P, TS100, and TS101 are what you want to look into

      I’ll second this. The Pinecil is probably the best bang for your buck that you’re gonna get. Just be sure to grab some of the larger tips, especially the conical tips like the bc2 and c4

        I appreciate it! This looks like the one. Just going to look into the UI first but presumably I will only need to set a temperature or two and turn on and off, simple enough.

      Thank you for the great rec! Will check each of these out. Looks like the Pinecil runs something that might be (at first glance) the soldering iron counterpart to Anduril: IronOS.
