Pinecil soldering Iron is pretty awesome for projects like this. Fine point and uses USB-C power. I use my extra 60 watt phone charger for it and it heats to ~500c
A Weller! It's a classic! I had one back in the days, also analog -- IIRC, came with a magnet (!) to adjust temperature.
I'm thinking about getting one of these, more portable and can be fed through USB-C PD or 12V barrel connectors which are more convenient for me: https://www.amazon.com/PINECIL-Smart-Mini-Portable-Soldering/dp/B096X6SG13
Not sure about soldering tip compatibility or even availability, for that matter... :-|
I heard good things about this one:
PINECIL – Smart Mini Portable Soldering Iron, Small https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096X6SG13/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_JRGRAN0P1NF9BB0D92M9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
These are supposed to be good too: Miniware TS100 Mini Electric Soldering Iron Kit, Output Power 24W-65W, Adjustable Temperature 100℃-400℃, Digital Display, Powered by DC5525 with Wall Charger/Car Charger/Power Bank https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091KNFT45/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_P6NSXNG0B4A04G72DDT5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The version 2 is on Amazon and is is a very nice iron. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096X6SG13
Is this true?
I got sent to the Amazon store from a variety of seemingly trustworthy places after deciding to grab one of these tonight.
This is a fake?

what country are you in. main Pine Store will restock Mid-October. start Stalking website Oct. 12 usually sells out in one day when the batch goes up monthly. Some months they have 2 batch sales. and some only one large batch sales. it tells to sell out in 14 hours. you have a chance. (notethat it's $25.99 + $12 shipping from China) or $38. I try to add extra stuff to cart to spread out the shipping cost (red silicone cables, $1 replacement contacts, clear handle)
USA-Amazon has it in stock now since official Pine Store also ships it from China to USA to resell it there too for convenience of people in USA.
see the Pinecil Wiki for other places to buy it: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinecil#Pinecil_V2_Authenticity_Checker
link in there for joining Pinecil chat where people monitor it and let people know when it's in stock. hope that helps
https://www.amazon.com/PINECIL-Smart-Mini-Portable-Soldering/dp/B096X6SG13 This is the best soldering iron I’ve owned and can run off usb c or dc current I’d look into it
If soldering yourself, don't forget to use leaded solder (63/37 preferred) and good flux. If you don't yet have an iron, my favorite is the Pinecil, it performs wayyy above it's price point, and can run off of a USB-C laptop charger/Nintendo Switch charger/etc. Oh yeah, and make sure to have a tip cleaner on hand, an oxidized tip is a huuuge pain. May as well pick up one that doubles as an iron holder.
the amazon.ca canada seller is not connected to Pine Store. it is some unknown/unverified reseller selling on their own. unknown if they are legit or not.
See Pinecil wiki for where to buy, there is a Canadian seller on this list. If he is sold out you could send him message or chat of when he will restock.https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinecil#Where_to_buy_a_Pinecil
Pine Store only sells from their website pine64.com or on Amazon-USA link in the wiki. No other Amazon page is related to Pine store. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096X6SG13/
We were told by Pine store that the reason Canada only has $30 courier shipping now is that too many packages got "lost" going through Candadian Customs on using the cheap $12 shipping option.the $12 option that used to be available relies on packages getting through Canadian customs and then going to the national mail service to be delivered to people. since it has such low margin, replacing all these lost pinecils was a problem. Going through they Courier service they don't seem to get lost.
If you're in the US and need it super quick (and grey market): someone sells them on amazon
(ninja edit) I bought mine direct from Pine - I'm not certain if you can warrantee these...
