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 going to be the default suggestion as you really can't go wrong with the price/performance. It'll totally blow most low end stations out of the water.

If you want something a bit higher end that's nicer to use in a desktop environment, get an Aixun T3A. Way more power, has a proper stand with a dormancy sensor, and uses nicer JBC style tips.

I would strongly advise against any name brand irons or stations, they all kinda suck for the price.
