I use "tie irons" bits of stainless steel used for holding the two sections of a cavity wall together. one iron will make you 3 or 4 weights. they cost very little, often found lying around any building site. all you need is a good pair of snips.

I have a large supply, here. anyone in Leicester who wants some just let me know. they are more practical then a screwcumber (much smaller) and don't cost, well much.
