Get the smallest shafted temperature controlled iron you can
find. Two basic designs, 'single temperature' units, like the
Antex TCS50 (trimmable with a screwdriver), or fully adjustable
units, like the 660TC, with the TC50.
Antex irons give better heat transfer to the joint (I also use a
100W Weller TC iron, and the Antex 50W will out solder it on
some jobs), than many competing designs, and I like the weight.

This is the Weller page for the UK

but which iron in the drop down box is the best value?
