Two things to consider when choosing a soldering iron is the thickness of the tip and the wattage. The wattage determines how fast the soldering iron heats up. When you solder, heat is transferred away from the soldering iron tip to the solder joint. High wattage makes it easier for the tip to keep its temperature high.
