If you're working indoors, place your fume extractor next to your project. Set up your tools in a well-lit area, away from anything flammable:

A pair of safety glasses (solder spatter will damage regular glasses)

A soldering iron and solder (leaded or lead-free)

A pair of angled tweezers

A tip cleaning tool (damp cellulose sponge or brass wool)

A pair of flush cutters

A desoldering pump and/or solder wick (aka desoldering braid), in case you make a mistake.

(Optional) A silicone work mat to prevent damage to your work surface.
