I'd say the best one is a tie, both done by myself. (Hope I'm not bragging too much!) The first was when I was on a National Guard weekend out in the field. The Sergeant Majors jeep was about out of gas and no one had brought out a nozzle for the gas cans. I knew there was an old pile of rubbish where we were so I looked though it and there was an old glass 2 liter bottle (remember those?). I was a mechanic at the time, so I had my tool box with me. I used a triangular file to etch a line around the bottle at the bottom, then I held it up to the exhaust of a generator to get the glass hot. then I poured some cold water on it and the bottom of the bottle broke off clean. Instant funnel to fill the jeep with gas! The other one was that I used a small hose clamp to connect a broken link of square drive chain on a manure spreader. It held for two years until I quit using the spreader. The worst cobble job I've ever seen was when someone tried to plumb a drain line in a house for a bathtub. They used ABS sealed with roofing tar. It was discovered when the pipes fell apart taking the kitchen ceiling with it.
