Homeade tools???.... What have you made?
What kind of crazy tools have you made in your career to make life easier or just so you dont have to spend 1,000,000 on a tool!!!

Oh, this should be good. I got so many, I can't even think of any... oh I know, I took one of my 5/8" open end/combo wrench, I torched one end of it so I could bend it to a 90* angle so I could use it on my Bonneville'* fuel tank straps.

I ground down the center section of a 3" long 1/2" drive ratchet extension so it would fit between the transmission and the engine to remove the rear knock sensor.

I didn't really make it but I repurposed a 13mm line wrench to grab the end of the rocker arms on the 3.1 v-6 to remove the pushrods with out removing the back valve cover and alternator stand when replacing intake gaskets.

I needed a special tool to get inside of a SNES. Instead of buying a gaming tool screw driver I made one from an old rusty screw driver I had. I had to cut a middle section out so I could turn out the screw in the Nintendo. Worked pretty good too.
Beats buying one.
