The cheapest resistance tweezers that CPC Farnell sell, plus some soldering gubbins, for making up new DRO cables.
Ultimately all this stuff cost less than getting a spare 12-Pin M23 instrument connector, as well as making soldering 48 cup pins a lot less painful a job.
Also a 24" combination square set from Katsu tools, for the princely sum of a tenner.
It is square, but the quality is terrible compared to my Bahco ones.
However my only other option for 24" was to splash the cash for a Kennedy, Starret or M&W at ×18 to ×35 the price...
Honestly the quality is low enough that if I was using it every day, I would spend £180 on a Kennedy without thinking about it, but for an occasional use tool, it's adequate.
Alas, the fetching teal buffalo is not new, or mine (I converted my partner to to team Pile-Pertex via smugly being warm and comfortable at her during the winter, and now she's working on her colleagues by smugly being warm at them whilst doing field surveys of cereals).
