I also bought my soldering iron at radio shack (15 watt) and they are not appropriate for soldering a PS2 since the iron is just too thick. So I "Sharpened” it, I made the tip like .5 cm of the iron end really thin and fine tip, and that works, I installed a Magic2 to my PS2 V7.
That’s the only advice I can give man, try customizing it till it meets your needs.

That's pretty sh*tty service. You would think they would know about the products they sell.
