Hmmm, Jim, I laughed so hard I nearly fell of the couch...

Interesting to note that since my kit (a 235 kit nr 233) purchased in
1987 things haven't changed much.  I too have weird shaped, ground-off
tools that I hope to find rather than remake at some future date.  Earl

PS  I bet Jay Leno could use some your talents.   "Changing to a lower
wattage bulb so your arms heal faster" is a gem....
