DIY Tools
Quite often, it is neccessary to have the right tools for a particular job.  Dedicated and specialised tools can be expensive, difficult to find and sometimes not exactly what you need.  Of course, the answer to this is to build your specialised tools!  Whilst some things may be out of the question, with a little thought it is possible to manufacture some very useful aids.
