Topic: tools that have other uses than what they are called for

[Dr.Maxwe001]

I have torn up two sets of Tie Rod Ends because I was useing a pickle fork  after talking to some friends on here I found out I could use a steering arm puller at first i wasnt 100% sure what they were saying but after i got the tool in my hand it was very SIMPLE here is a picture of what i did




please post your pictures of tools that you have used that are called one thing but have been used on other things ... and maybe we can all learn from others

Ive used a ball joint puller on tie rod ends..  Same principle as what you did.

I know i have used other tools for what they weren't called for.. but i can't think of them..
