Arc/stick welder £35
Torque wrench £15
Re-chargable LED inspection lamp £10
+loads of other garage-type stuff but I was in a hurry. Not sure I would trust a 15 quid torque wrench to be accurate though...

i bought one of the led lights the other day - its done about 6 hours so far without charging and is decently bright - doesn't feel the solidest piece of plastic ever though so how well it last remains to be seen - 3yr guarantee though!

I used to have a 60's one that consisted of a coil, a few wires with croc clips to go on a car battery and a stick holder, you had to run the car to get it hot enough whilst you welded the same car ;D |

Soldering iron kit for £7 in my local aldi store. Thought it was worth adding to the tool collection...

I bought a £12 battery charger/conditioner in there not long ago. Not used it but apparently it's pretty good! They have quite a few tools in there sometimes but no idea what they're like...
