I just was walking around the mall and walked into Radio Shack and there it was, a 15W
& 30W iron . I bought some of that silver wire stuff that you have to melt, I was trying to find a fine tip so it would be easier to solder but they didn't have any in stock .

Does anyone know where I could pick up a fine tip and some hardware tools for cheap ?

a local hardware store
dont look online coz u dont know exactly what u want and the size/name whatever
