Recommendation request: What is a good minimalist soldering iron setup for flashlight mods? (ANSWERED: Pinecil v2) (programming.dev)

There are some great posts by experienced modders here. I’m not one, but I want to start making simple modifications beyond swapping reflectors. For example, swapping out a 5a linear driver for a 5a buck in a Convoy S6.

For a simple job like unsoldering two wires then soldering them, is there a small usb or battery-powered iron that would do the job without spending too much on the initial investment?

Any input is appreciated!

Thank you for the great rec! Will check each of these out. Looks like the Pinecil runs something that might be (at first glance) the soldering iron counterpart to Anduril: IronOS.
