Soldering Iron options

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.

Godort,

I use a Weller WES51.

It’s built like a tank and was a full $100 cheaper than the Hakko equivalent.

refurbishedrefurbisher,

I use the Yihua 8786D-I. Combo iron and heat gun. Works fantastically. Been using it for a few years at this point.

Yihua makes clones of Hakko products.

There’s also the Pinecil, which I hear is good.

karpintero,

Hakko or Weller are usually well recommended
