    Looking to do a bit of work on an xbox but my old tips are worn out or too big.
    Anyone recommend a good iron to get ?

    Maplin sell a 12W soldering iron with a fine tip for around €28. You can also purchase additional tips for around €6 each.

    I bought a new one two weeks ago :) I'm going to be tinkering with my Wii as soon as I get a bit of soldering practice under my belt.

    well mike, you should have bought the 15w as this is the best one for modding any console.

    I think mine is a 15w iron ;) I bought it a few weeks ago - I'm just waiting for my Wiikey.
