/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1145446
You honestly don't need any more than a soldering iron that doesn't melt in your hands for basic hobby stuff. High heat capacity is nice too. You'll probably also want some helping hands if you're doing a lot of wire-to-wire soldering, and a board-vice too if you're doing PCB soldering. I don't have either, just a strip of galvanised steel with steep triangles cut out of it which I jam wires into, and it does the trick.
