To keep it company, invest in Lincoln wire. I use some French stuff the local stockist keeps, but it's ace stuff.Today I made a substantial investment adding an additional welding process to my collection, don't all get jelous now!...
£4.99 on a knurled roller to give flux core wire ago

Never ran it before but i'm pretty sure i'll get some decent use out of it for those jobs where stick is a bit too much but would be fighting the wind on MIG.
The difference between good and bad flux-core wire is incredible.
I have a few - bought one from Quaife when they first brought them out, 30 odd yrs ago - in the front of my metro 2litre. For a while I nearly ripped it out - it kept unlocking every time my inside wheel lifted - ended up with me doing overtime on the steering trying to keep it on line. So I tried left foot braking - just enough to load it up. Sorted the issue, taught me how to left foot brake, and made all the other grassers walk around the pits after a race sniffing their cars brakes.
Since then I had one (rover version) on my Rover 200 k series rally car, seemed fine, if a little “soft”...

The Type B were a bit "softer" than the Type A, which had a tendency to shear off, both were fairly road friendly.
The Quaife ones were a lot stronger.
Indeed. Compared to the Salisbury I had in my race mini you would swear it wasn’t working. Ok on tarmac maybe, but on dirt the Salisbury would allow turn in, get the back out, then lock up for a full drift past the apex, hang on for the ride...
But, a night in the lanes driving a 1275 mini with Salisbury would turn my weedy arms into mush.

A handy thinga-ma-bob.
Great for prying things apart.
I think the technical name is a skin wedge.
