Homebrew PCBs

Forgive me for butting in, but I was wondering where I might find a 1mm penciltip iron?

Precision sockets (the kind with round turned pins) are
very easy to solder top side. i usually apply the iron from the outside
and feed the solder from the inside to get a good all-round joint.
No burning of the plastic if you use a 1mm penciltip and 1mm solder.
