[Elecraft] Gearing up to build - where to get tools?

Hey folks,
 
I have some tools but will need more for the K2.  I have a Weller WTCPT
(or whatever it is) soldering station with two tips.  Both have a "7" on
the bottom (700 degree?).  One is the original and one is a very thin
pointy tip.
 
I have a static mat, a clear bench and a workable light.
 
I'm thinking I need the following and wonder if there is a preferred
place to get them at a fair price?
  - Solder
  - Small side cutters
  - Small needle nose pliers
  - Other tips for the weller
  - Helping hands parts holder
  - Solder braid (for desoldering)
 
I have access to a vacuum desolder station so if things get bad I can go
that route.
 
Where should I get these things?  What else do I need?
