No picture handy but I made a long reach tool for changing those curly fluorescent light bulbs. Cut two pieces of cardboard about 3x4" Cut halfway across the middle from one of the 3" sides then slide together in an X. Notch one side to fit over the end of a piece of PVC pipe. Cut the other side of the cardboard X to fit into and outside of the bulb coil, using a new bulb to check fit. Hotglue the cardboard onto the end of the pipe, also gluing at the X joint.

Stab it up onto the bulb and unscrew. Works to screw the new bulb in.

it actually did. I guess they considered it a 90% receiver and had to go through a FFL. However it was lost in a tragic boating accident.

Been setting toe this way for decades.longer angle and bigger cans for bigger cars. That's an old pic I now use longer angle on everything it's more accurate thought about drilling holes so bolts could be run through the angle to locate on the wheel instead of the tire but haven't.Other side is same set up with tapes clothes pinned to angle. Paint cans work good on 4wd stuff.

Got sick of my Oxygen/Acetylene cart tires going flat all the time. It is a HF cart, and I probably could have just put some stop leak in the tubes...BUT SCREW THAT!!!!

Made this tool a while ago to press in the recess, for the auxiliary fuel tank filler neck.

Old fuel pump rods and a whack with a hammer are effective as well.

I’m a cheap bastard and wanted a stand up ashtray for the cigars we smoke.
Had a couple drums laying around and figured **** it. I’ll make one.
The poor Oliva Serie V that got naked was due to a female smoking it with very long nails.
She managed to peel the wrapper clean off LOL.
Other one was a My father line.
Some leftover fish rock and sand was the filler material used.
