Just try and get a temp controlled iron, not those cheep constant on ones.

henryd99:
so any temp controlled will work

The best you can afford. Mine was £60 from Maplin and I cant fault it. I've had it 6 months and never changed the tip yet.

henryd99:
thanks for the info but would you think its a bad idea to just stick with a conical tip or get a screwdriver tip
