This is going to be my next little project. Thought it was pretty clever.

I've made a few, can only think of one off the top of my head. I used a 5/8 open wrench, hammered a deep well 10mm socket into the wrench and tacked it in place. You run a small flat head screwdriver down the socket and you've got yourself a $5 valve adjust tool for a Honda. Beats paying $68 from blue point.
