Messing around with the 94s on my roadster lately inspired me to make a couple of tools I had had in mind to make for a long time.

Anyone who messes with 94s will recognise what these are for. A lot of people may already have something similar, but not me.

The jet tool was turned down from a 10mm allen bolt. The end was slotted and a piece of metal from a cutting knife blade inserted. It was then hand ground to get the final shape.

The plug removal tool was made from a novelty joke hammer bottle opener. I cut it down and ground and hand filed the broad screwdriver tip onto it. It has a slight curve to match the slot in the plug. It's amazing how tight these can be to crack open, and they are easily gnarled up.

Cost me nothing but a little hobby time, time well spent because I get a kick from stuff like this and they work really well.
