Q: -Can a tool designed at Wright-Patterson AFB still be considered "Homemade"?
A: -If, and only if the ARFL team lives on the base:)

I wonder how many million $ those cost the Air Farce to make? :)

It looks more like a tool to hold the wheel nut socket in place for the torquing process. A different tool/trolley would have been used to actually remove and replace the wheel.
