I got mine from ebay, magnets magnets magnets, they are really good and have almost every size and shape, I usually go for 3x1mm magnet for arms but may vary depending on the size of the arm.

When you can't see the drunk guy at a party, you should look for the nearest mirror.

I would also put in a good word for magnets magnets magnets.

Drill wise the tool guy on my local market sells kits of 20 drill bits ranging in size from 0.3 to 1.6 for under a fiver. I'm yet to need anything bigger than that but if I did b&q would be my first port of call as welll.

You don't say if you already have a pin vice but if not ebay should be the place. I got a set of 2 double ended ones for a few pounds. Having endured all manner of odd confused looks from hardware store guys wondering what on earth I was on about and directing me to the bench vices
