What are some of the off the wall, one time use improve tools you have made?
I had to lift a protable building off of a trailer, so I rigged up some "ginn poles". A 1 and 7/8 trailer ball fit nicley into some 2 and 3/8 pipe I had, so I mounted one on each side of my pickups bed. I beefed the whole thing up with some 1/2 steel washers I made. A 1/2" link chain held them to my headach rack and a 1 and a 1/2 ton chain fall winch provided the lifting. Although I built this for a one time use, I find myself "poling up the pickup" to move anything to big for the dolly around the yard.
The bed is full of junk because we were moving into a new house, hints the reason for moving the storage building.
