Make your own tools

Was a time when it seemed like every other day someone came out with a new quick connect line coupling , a/c, trans cooler, etc.. We had to Magiver a tool from a hose clamp , starter shim , whatever, to do the repair and get paid.
Once upon a time, a lady had closed her locked car door on her hand. Long story short, a guy I worked with just happened to be there. He removed the antenna mast from her car and used it to slimjim the door lock. Hero for a day :)
