What ho, chums!

Just bought today from Lidl a couple of magnets to assist in holding sheet metal for welding at £3.99 each.
See here and scroll down http://www.lidl.co.uk/en/our-offers-2491.htm?id=840

They also had (in Andover) a couple of arc welders at £39.99 each although these are, of course, unsuitable for welding car body work.

Hold sheet metal and automotive metal panels firmly in a positive location for cutting, welding, tacking, painting and repair operations.
