fork spring compressor and ISCV setting tool

As toolmaker I'm a pretty good nurse, but I'm a bit happy with these. The fork spring compressor is a collar from a Hills Hoist (Aussie clothes line) and I made the ISCV tool because I got sick of getting my hands up the back of the throttle bodies holding a 7ml spanner. Though I now have a new TPS so I don't think I'll be using it again for a while.

Some bastard probably will patent it and make a fortune now!

In answer to the question posed, yes if it doesn't exist and I need it, I'll make or modify something's suit.
