I like having an assortment of scrap and basic welding and cutting-shaping-polishing equipment to make things like these when I actually need them. Then I have exactly what I need instead of something close enough. Every time I buy an assortment, it seems like one gets used a lot while the rest never do.

There's no substitute for $$$$ tools that are properly finished, hardened and tempered. But if I'm going to use something else, I would rather make it myself than buy cheap import tools.
