I was wondering what kind of soldering iron's best for stuff like moding would this one work alright? https://www.asseenontvnetwork.com/vc...heatca/125730/

It seems a little "beefy" for the boards you'll be working on. Plus, TV junk usually isn't that great. I stick to Weller Irons. Get between a 15W and 30W and you'll be fine.
www.mcminone.com electronics supplier that carries them.

Personnaly tryed a cold heat and I wasnt able to solder anything.... Im using a $10 radioshack 15w soldering iron and it work better...

Look at that tip vs the size of the stuff you'll potentially be soldering. It's like using sidewalk chalk in a coloring book. If you don't mind bridges that's fine. ...I guess we must all learn our own way, but I think you'll end up buying one you plug in anyway.
