what do you mean cheater pipe?
cheater pipe is something of an extension you slide over the handle of another tool to gain leverage.
I have probably 4 different sized and lengthed cheater bars, the break axle nuts loose on MR2's and (4 foot bar) and break small stuff loose (2 footer).
I havent made my own, more so just made tools created and designed for one job do a totally different job lol
mtsnieg, I like your idea for clutch holder tools. Do they work pretty well?
heres my home made leak down tester for 2 stroke engines....im going to re design it here pretty soon with a quick release like you find on air tools and make more adaptors for it with the quick connects to use it on many other engines depending on the size of intake ports im trying to seal to

could you explane how the leak down tester works?
well what a leak down tester does is check for leaks in a 2stroke engine. Being as if u have a seal blow on a 2 stroke it is often difficult to find and will cause lots of running head aches. So what you do is plug the exhaust to make it air tight then u put the tester in the intake and make sure you have a good seal. Then u apply around 7psi via the air valve.on the tool and you want to see the gauge stay at 7psi as long as it can. Some people say I'd it holds pressure for more than 3 minutes you're good yo go. But if it does drop you will hear a air leak somewhere in the engine which will pin point which seal is out. So you can fix it
My tester cost about 15bucks to make where as if you were ti buy a legit tester I've seen them starting at $200+
