Some of the best tools I use are the ones I’ve made myself. So I’m betting the creative bunch that makes up PBrev have some fantastic ones. Post them here.

Here are a few of my favs.
A – Fuse pullers.
Any fuse puller I’ve bought has literally broken more fuses that they’ve pulled. The two I’ve made work like a charm.
A2 was the first one I hastily made out of a coat hanger. It works so well despite its ugliness, that it’s found a permanent place in my toolbox.
A1 is the second variation. It’s much smaller and more aesthetically pleasing.
Neither has so much as cracked a fuse.
B – Multi Meter alligator probes.
I’m sure these are available for purchase, but I had the bits lying around so I made my own. These are good for when you need three or four hands to test something.
C – Multi Meter hanger.
This is more of a mod than a homemade tool. I’ve attached an elastic to my MM so I can hang it on the PF while testing stuff. The elastic hooks around the base of one of the probes, to keep it out of the way when I don’t need to hang it. This one goes very well with the alligator probes.
