    Special tools?

    Liking to tinker and having limited tools I improvise. I use a cut down bit of pushbike saddle stem with two slots cut into the sides to compress mainsprings. Ive got a stubby screwdriver with the middle of the blade ground out to do the little screws on Diana,s etc,a piece of flatbar for undoing screwed in trigger blocksand a forked piece of flatbar as a screwdriver for the stock nut on a mk1 airsporter. I use cotton buds to get into those delicate little places of a gun to either clean or lubricate, bamboo skewers to clean the insides of pistons with a rod in them and a piece of brush handle with a woodscrew screwed into the end off centre. This is because Ive come across a few guns with nails or pins stuck in the end of the cylinder---as you turn the wood the head of the screw catches on the pin or nail and pulls in off the end of the cylinder. Any more odd ones?
