I like "home brew tools"- - - -ones I make myself for a specific job. I'm in the process of finishing up two fixtures that will allow mw to offset a stovebolt crankshaft in my lathe to rough out the stroke change I'm planning, which will minimize the wear and tear on the crankshaft grinding wheel. Spinning a 100 pound chunk of metal 3 feet long a couple of inches off center takes a bit of Rube Goldberg rigging!
