Soldering iron
This is the most important tool in a maker’s arsenal.
For Synthia's assembly, any entry-level soldering iron will suffice.
If you plan to dive into the world of DIY projects, you should consider getting a more
expensive one with more features. Many soldering irons with interchangeable tips
can be particularly useful when working with much smaller components.
In the next chapter, you'll find the instructions on how to properly solder and take
care of your soldering iron.
Soldering sponge
This small piece doesn't seem like much until you soak it in some water. It then
turns into a super solder-cleaning sponge! Use it after soldering a couple of joints
to remove the excess solder from the tip of your iron. Make sure that the sponge
isn't dripping wet or bone dry - it should be damp.
