Clamps or other essential

[waddycall]

Thank you everyone. No guts no glory so I am going for the calipers, marking gauge and gloves.
Thank you for your guidance and being very kind.
I'll recommend the forum - after the 23rd-.

Excellent choices!

By the way I don't know why, but those marking gauges really aren't very common, but they're probably my most used marking tool. Anyone who doesn't have one, you should try one, it's invaluable for scribing hole centres on plates etc

Hello
My husband is restoring a MG Gt, and will be using the MiG technique for the welding. It will be his first time (course booked).

I would like to get him a tool that he would use for when he begins welding; I would like the tool to be made if stainless steel (wedding anniversary)

This is not an area I am familiar and I'd like to surprise him with something he enjoys.

Any advice

If there is sheet metal replacement involved, consider getting him a "Joggler" tool, which could prove quite useful for providing offsets so that the metal can be blended to a more level surface when repairs are necessary. By rotating the tool head it also functions as a hole punch for pop rivet or screw installation.
"Tama" brand are of excelent quality.

I've found some stainless steel clamps on Etsy, not really welding related.

Think nipples.

Well, wedding anniversary and all that.
