Weirdest Tool Used in a Build?

[Lethalviperr]

Hey so I was plugging some more cables into my modular PSU but their clips prevented them from seating nicely so I used a finger nail file to shave a millimeter off so they'd fit and well got curious about other weird tools that had been used to build a PC.

So mine is a nail file. What's your's and what did you use it for?

[MatheusSanzo]

The classic knife as a screw driver.

[TheSLSAMG]

A big hammer. I had to bend a piece of metal and it was too thick for hand bending.

[Mo5]

Sadly, I'm one of those boring people who use proper tools

[Excon]

Hack saw and tin snips.....

[JLCitadel]

It never occurred to me people use other odd tools to do this or help fix stuff

[Cyrus]

A spoon.

[TheCrazyCryptonian]

A toothpick...

[christianled59]

A giant ass magnet.

[Jeroen1322]

A giant plyer (Tang in dutch) because i couldn't getr 2 molex connectors loose.. 

[thedigitalmilk]

A single metal paper clip, uncoiled then stuck to a magnet to fish a screw out of my PSU, I then realised if I turned it upside down my good old chum gravity would make the damn thing fall out...

Butter knife, for some reason I had one lying around in my room and couldn't be bothered to go downstairs to get my screwdrivers! 

[IdeaStormer]

These multiple soft yet hard bendable stick like tools which also leak red fluid if I rub them against sharp objects, like the backside of the mobo.

 

I think they're called fingers

[QcDExtreme]

my teeth to hold some wires in place while trying to grab a zip tie across the table.

[Bikkabo]

Butcher´s knife - Trying to get the fudging front panel off (Corsair Obsidian 650D)

I think I done that to - Several times

[Rich Armstrong]

A jar opener to close down a fitting that i couldnt manage by hand and didnt have any pliers...

[simson0606]

an old hard drive as a hammer because i couldn't find a real hammer

[bcredeur97]

I used my foot in the bottom of a case to keep it from flipping over while I was pushing on something inside of it once...

[airdeano]

dewalt saws-all, because was out of dremel cut-off disks, only jigsaw blade usable

was for wood and cutting torch was just too weird.

 

[Blade of Grass]

How am I one of the few that has actual proper tools to build? I've never really been in a situation where I needed to do  anything strange.

Not so much building as deconstruction, but I once had to use a power drill to get a motherboard standoff out. It had been screwed in so tight that the screw had completely stripped from it being tightened too much (prebuilt system). I didn't need the case but I needed the motherboard out, so I drilled though the case, worked perfectly well

Classic Clarkson

 

I once used my soldering iron to open a hole on the front panel connectors. It smelled really really bad 

[mythicalbeast]

Probably not the weirdest out there. But I used a knife when upening the clips on a n usb headder.
