missingsid Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 More for the in-car toolbox than the workshop, but Clamptite is one of my favourites. Very simple tool, but with a small roll of wire, makes neat and very strong emergency replacements for jubilee clips and similar. Love this, I have a foll of lockwire but this is the tool to use for pipe fixing. Marc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't go light enough it's either not adjusted/adjustable for MIG, or its knackered - had one the same looked at last week, verdict was 'dead'! You mean Kettle? She's all back on the road thanks, still not right but she's running fine, hasn't given me a bit of trouble since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmasherWebbs Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Its always hard for me to part with cash but my sealy auto welding helmet was around £80 but worth every penny. And some of the tools i have in my box that im always glad to have are: Jubilee clip flexi driver http://www.diytools.co.uk/jubilee-clip-driver-flexible.html?utm_source=Google-Product-Search&utm_medium=Organic-Feed&utm_campaign=Google-Product-Search&gclid=CIv33bHD57MCFSbMtAod0EcA8A saves so many bleeding hands!!!! And this bad boy http://www.toolmanyardley.co.uk/product.aspx?productid=871 I know its a sin to use a shifter but its the best i have ever used. And i always pick this up before a screw driver saves hours of swearing or ending in the corner crying and asking god why he hates you. http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=hand+impact+driver&hl=en&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bpcl=38897761&biw=1366&bih=689&wrapid=tlif135375792598710&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=8087992291092951106&sa=X&ei=37SwUO3yD5DIswad_oAI&ved=0CHkQ8wIwAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Also good ate speedgas helmets but EVEN better Is the "cheater" lens inside Rather than just the normal view through the helmet You add a cheater lens and it magnifies the area 1.5 2 orin my case in my TIG helmet 2.5x the size http://www.ukwelder.com/shop2/shop_index.php?page=mag_lens Speedgas do their own but above have supplied mates and he loves them too !
