Title: What's the best soldering iron?
Post by: ValerieV on Thu, 14 February 2013, 18:06:31

I am about to undertake my first keyboard modification. What do you recommend for me to be the best soldering iron? I know it has to be small but is there a specific make that some one on this board prefers when it comes to modifying their keyboard? Thanks.
