7 useful lifehacks with a screwdriver
Everyone knows that an ordinary household screwdriver (drill) is a universal tool. With its help, you can make holes in different materials, tighten and unscrew any fasteners, engage in threading work, etc. But with a creative approach to this tool, it can be equipped with dozens of new “professions” that will save us time, effort and money. Let's look at some of them.

We insert the remaining part into the screwdriver chuck and clamp it. We lower the brush into the toilet and turn on the drive. Fast, clean and fun!

When drilling into a brick wall or chipboard siding, a lot of small waste is generated that will have to be removed. This is unpleasant, especially if the renovation takes place in a clean room.

Peeling fruits by hand is time-consuming, tedious and unsafe. This work can be done almost instantly and economically. To do this, we place the apple in the center on a feather drill fixed in a drill, turn on the tool, and bring a hand-held vegetable peeler to the fruit.


If you need to quickly peel a lot of potatoes, use a brush attached to a drill. Place the required amount of potatoes in a bucket and fill it flush with water.

We lower the brush into a container with unpeeled tubers and turn on the drill. One minute - and all the potatoes are peeled!
