Sometimes with your own hands, almost without straining, you can do something very useful that is not even always sold in the store. This collection contains 4 great ideas that will definitely come in handy. Be sure to use these tips!
- Holder for engraver If you do not have a ring holder of sandpaper for the engraver, then cut a small blank from the stick of hot glue.
Drill it lengthwise, and put a screw with a washer on it.
Tighten it with the other side of the nut through the second washer.
Now you can put sandpaper on this holder. If you tighten the nut, the glue will expand, and the sandpaper will hold.
2. Thread restoration with cotton wool and glue It happens that a hole is damaged in the wooden blanks, from which the self-tapping screw does not hold in it. In this case, press cotton wool into it, and fill it with superglue.
After that, the screwed-in screw will not go anywhere.
3. We drill the metal with a self-tapping screw
In the absence of a drill of a suitable diameter, you can use a metal self-tapping screw. Clamp it directly into the drill chuck.
A new self-tapping screw can drill almost any metal.
4. Gripping for hard-to-reach places
To make a grip, you will need a throttle adjustment cable from the car.
At one end of it, you need to compress the sleeve with wire forceps.
The cable is laid through a thin rigid hose. On the reverse side, a sleeve with a finger hook and a spring are put on it.
After that, it connects to the handle from the damper adjustment.
The length of the hose should be such that the forceps come out of the tube when you press the handle. Thus, if you click on it, they will be able to capture what is required, and when released, block this thing, allowing it to be pulled out.
