Example1:

I found it difficult to set the rivets when I rebuilt my wing windows so I got a $1.00 Harbor Fright chisel and notched and welded the setting tool to the end. This allowed me to swing the hammer safely above the frame of window.
Example 2:

I ground a cheap 17MM socket and fashioned a crude spanner to work with the switch bezels.
Example:3 The most shameful of all , I hammered a piece of coat hanger to fit in the electrical terminals to release them from their case.
I know it's not much but I pretty sure these separate me from lower forms of life.

My homemade 1 man cab, bed, stepside bed lift, This thing will easily lift a cab, bed, and turn it upside down and there are brackets for a stepside. This thing has saved me a lot of time and grief.Attachment 344267
