One of the other lists I frequent has a thread going about favorite exotic tools. Here are some that I found interesting, but first - if anyone is looking for an Air Conditioning manifold gauge set Harbor Freight has theirs on sale for $40. <http://www.harborfreight.com/a-c-manifold-gauge-set-92649.html?utm_campaign=SEO&utm_medium=Inbound_links&utm_source=linking>

Exotic tools:

The Mini-Ductor II is a device that can heat a ferrous nut, bolt, or whatever using electric induction , and not a flame. Look at the video, it's cool, but a bit more than $400.

Harbor Freight vibrating tumbler and walnut shells to clean nuts, bolts, or other pieces from the vehicle.

It's just a bunch of SAE or Metric nuts and bolts labeled to the correct size, like you'd find at a hardware store.

Here's a cheapie - a strap on LED head-light, or a lighted magnifying visor - Harbor Freight has these.

And one more Harbor Freight cheapie - they call it a Third Hand - a few articulated clips and a magnifying glass.

There were many lifts, presses, torque wrenches of every imaginable size and shape, and much more.

Gene has his squirt bottles - what about the rest of you? Any home made or exotic tools that you'd like to share?
