Please drop some links for the soldering irons y’all use, mine is apparently lost in my parent’s attic, and thinking of, probably too large for console modding.

I figured to ask here as I believe the console modding community here would already have some good finds. I’m also wanting todo a battery mod to my GBC soon.

    Pinecil is pretty great for what it is. Hakko’s always a safe bet.

      I started with a Hakko, $120. It blows my mind how much better a $25 soldering iron (Pinecil V2) is. Both only have 2 buttons, but the Hakko does a terrible job with them. The Hakko also takes significantly longer to heat, which resulted in me running it really hot when I first started out.

      I’m never going to be doing much beyond console modding and I travel a bit so I went Pinecil.

      I saw Hakko as a great option, was just a bit much for my use case.
