Do each of the legs (from the pivot point to where it bolts onto the pulley) have to be the "exact" same length in order to have 'equal amounts of force...applied'?.

No difference, really... keep 'em somewhat close for better leverage, but exact dimensions are unnecessary.

... [/b] on Ed C's tool, do you know of a do-it-yourselfer way of creating those half-ionch square holes that can accept half-inch drive tools?

There's not an easy way if you lack access to a burly hydraulic punch tool. You could get pretty close with a steady hand and a plasma or oxy-acetylene torch... or you could use a file and get there the hard way, with plenty of time and elbow grease.
