Two tools that ought to be

This week I worked most of three days trying to remove air-conditioner components from my 1996 Mercury Villager minivan -- and wishing for two tools that might be handy in a car repair shop.

  1)  Fixed wrench lever.   To turn a stuck nut or bolt crowded by neighboring structures.  The tool would hold a small eye wrench or C wrench firmly at any desired angle and provide mechanical advantage.

  2)  Shear on a stick.  To cut hoses crowded by neighboring structures.  This would have a hook and blade like a rose clipper at the end of a shaft, the blade forced into the hook by sliding motion rather than scissor motion.  The forcing of blade into hook would come from repeated gripping of a handle at the opposite end.
