Soldering is very easy to do and takes only a few items that are not too expensive to buy, most soldering items don.t cost too much, also buy a sponge and the low melting point solder, buy the whole Spool of 60/40 or of 63/37 solder (Better, but more expensive), buy low gauge (Thin) solder wire, get 1 pound or 1/2 pound spools.

RadioShack sell good enough soldering irons, but you can buy them also elsewhere if you want to.

I think it is best one that it be from 25 to 40 Watts of heat power.
