I'm planning on resoldering my HyperX Alloy Origins switches and LEDs and am going to do soldering in general for the first time.
I was recommended to use an automatic solder pump iron compared to using a traditional pump and iron since it makes it an easier job.
The issue is the automatic iron pump has less precise and wider tips, while the one I have from a kit are much more precise.
There are a large number of small solder joints I would have to do with this job, so as much as the automatic iron pump would help, I'm worried about burning the PCB/damaging it in general with the wider tip.

I know it might be a good idea to use each iron separately for soldering and desoldering, but if I had to choose just one, which is more safe/effective for beginners/advanced solderers?
