I never bought one. But, if I had one I would keep the instructions packed with it, probably double zip lock bagged to make sure that the instructions stayed dry and readable. Since I built most of my wheels I had spare spokes of the proper lengths.
Occasionally I think about buying one, I did not build the wheels on my road bike so I do not have spare spokes for it, do not know the lengths on those wheels so now I have an excuse to buy one.
