Not exactly a tool, but a shop made thing that's tool related. I recently made up a tiny rack for my ER-11 collets that I'll be using on the little Hager mill. I somehow don't like the idea of ER collets sitting down into holes - with that groove they have machined into them it seemed like there must be a better way to rack them. I used a piece of aluminum scrap and came up with this. It's quite quick and easy to make. I realized after taking photos and doing the video that if you lay it on its back, it's even better - collets face forward and gravity keeps them secured in the slots.
Here's a pic of the finished rack:

And here's a really short, quick video:
