McGyver Tools

Anybody ever made their own tool(s) to use on stuff? The most I ever did was make my own breaker bar and that’s it.

I may have built a lock breaker in case I got locked into a wilderness road.

Welded a wrench a to a deep socket instead of buying the tool needed to adjust the valves on my old prelude.

Made a 13.5mm wrench with a grinder and a 13mm wrench. With a welder a grinder and Craftsmen tools you can make neat stuff and then try to get new ones. Or cheap Kmart tools that you don't mind destroying.
