I remember buying a soldering station kit some years ago.  Heath even
took into
account that I might not have a soldering iron or gun to assemble the
kit, so
they provided detailed instructions on how to crimp the wire
connections, so as
to solder the kit with itself!  And naturally, they always supplied
solder.

I still have some of their packs of solder, unopened, as well as the
indispensable
nut starter tool.
