Welding seems like it would be for physical damage to cyber parts, maybe wiring for burn damage?
I think logically soldering iron would make the most sense in terms of real world equivalency, but soldering irons are sort of in their own category as far as tools and I'm generally preferring to nominate tools that would appear as steps for the deconstruction device. Welding inside someone's body is definitely pretty dramatic but that little bit of eyebrow raising brutality would both be in keeping with the splatstick humor and keep soldering irons in the engineering zone where they belong.
Also curiously, do organs currently take brute and burn damage? I'd been operating under the assumption that organ damage was just a number. My thought was that the tools required wouldn't follow the damage type per se, but be roughly following what kind of machine the organ is and what might break about it. Maybe give cyberhearts two pulse icons to represent "turn it off and on again"
