Here's a few of mine - simple but work as intended.
Caliper spreader.

A/C Clutch holder

Vintage home made louver press. 10,000 psi hydraulic pump pushing on a porto-power ram. Supposedly made by Smiley's in Kennedale.

She ain't real purddy but she gets the job done!

Ok, I have some to add - ones I completely forgot till Andrew reminded me of them.

Heavy duty balancer removal tool (for those stubborn SBF balancers) -



Cylinder head stud repair fixture - this is for repairing block threads ON the block. Uses drill bushings. Perfect alignment of the drill and tap via the other 3 studs.

We all have them....Post up your best garage tools, no matter how simple, no matter how complex. From work benches to welding fixtures.

The only stipulation is that they are not store bought. If the thread is good enough, we'll sticky it.

I'm at work right now, but I have some good ideas.

1)square tubing expander (expands a round header primary into a square header flange hole)

2)exhaust stands (Like what muffler shops use, for building exhaust on the floor)
