I think all of us have odd and special tools, I have a bunch I modified and
made when working in aerospace and other projects. For some tools I bought
at swap meets and even cheap stuff if I needed to heat and bend to work. I
don't think I would ever get rid of them as they bring back memories from
days long gone.
