I've found this useful for lining up ignition switch lock when you and your eyes are too old. A plumber's tool from Ridgid.

Not unique or exotic in any way, but probably the most often used tool I have.
Leatherman Wave.
I almost feel naked without it on my belt.

It's nice not having to constantly use a magent to fish out the droped 3MM Allen Wrench or rubbing my finger raw against the housing
I thought of this picture you posted the other day when I saw this thread tonight. I was looking at Sears just today for this tool with no luck.
Now THIS is ghetto, you mention having to fish the 3mm allen out from behind the engine, well, when I first started messing with my AFR I thought I would drop that 3mm behind the engine in no time, which I promptly did. So, I got a thin string, taped one end to the allen wrench and tied a loop at the other end that simply slips over my finger. It's cheese I know but I haven't dropped it since!

I have used this to fish wires in finished walls when building our theatre. It's BRILLIANT!

I like the dust cap puller. Dumb question though: what application does the relay w kill switch have?
