This Mechanical Arm is completely rigging using my own tools.

These four tools cover many of the steps that will be used in daily rigging work, including adding joints through vertex and curves, quickly creating controllers, resetting orientation, and rename.

The reason why I make these tools is that I want to empower myself to use the tools I have made to improve the efficiency of rigging in my daily work
