Has anyone used a spare allen opener as a captive ring tool?
Seems like you could just grind its end properly after shoving it up
some
HS or even carbon steel rod. and end up making a simple handle
from wood.
You probably could.. but then you might end up doing a stylish piercing job on
your face while you're at it..

I enjoy making some tools, but the $35 captive ring tool I bought has done a LOT
of rings and never bit me..

Also, it's double sided, which could be a fun project if you're a machinist..
YMMV
Here's an even cheaper one... check out the user's comment, too.. lol
