Where to get super-thin tip soldering iron?

I need a good soldering iron (30 watts) for mod chip installs/doing mods in tight spots. Does anyone know where I can get a really thin tip soldering iron? I have this radio shack dual-wattage one right now, it's good for basic things, but just too big for chip installs. Thanks!

You should really use 15w for modchip installs.

Yeah, I think you're probably right. I always ahve my current iron on 15 watts.

I like to take my dremel and shave a larger tip to a small one, I can never find thin tips either.
edit:hardware?

Maybe try Radioshack for the tips.

radio shack has a thin tip screw on for the 15 watters they sell.
