Lifehacks and secrets of an experienced master

We often notice that different people do the same things at different speeds. Often the fact is that some of them use various tricks to simplify their work, while others simply make a lot of unnecessary movements. We offer a selection of life hacks that allow you to act most effectively, simply and affordably.

1. How to properly insert hot glue sticks into the gun

Some hot melt glue guns have a problem pushing new sticks that have not yet entered the melting chamber. When the lever is pressed, they push and then fall back out. In this case, take a new rod and melt its tip on the nose of the gun.

After this, it will be able to stick to the old rod and will no longer fall out.

2. Restoring a broken ear

Many tools and equipment have a plastic hanging eye that is easy to break. You can restore it with a cable clamp. We drill two holes for it and insert the clamp bracket. We fix it on the reverse side with nuts.

3. Double paint roller

To modernize the roller, cut off part of the rod from its handle for putting on a fur coat. Weld a long rod instead. Thus, we get a T-shaped handle.You can put two coats on it at once, and due to this you can paint a large surface in one pass.

4. External wiring fastening

To attach electrical wiring, cut strips from PET bottles. Then fold them in half, taking the drive. Now screw the self-tapping screw through the tapes into the wall, placing a washer. Thus, we get a free non-conductive mount.

5. Folding hanging shelf

Screw two belt strips folded in half to the wall. Then hang the board on them. If we lay it horizontally, we get a shelf. When there is no need for it, then we turn the board, and it fits snugly against the wall without taking up space.

6. Reliable fastening of fiberboard to chipboard

Rear walls furniture Usually secured with small nails, they often come off. Instead of using a nail, it is better to drill a hole through the fiberboard into the end of the chipboard. Then insert the pop rivet and tighten it. Such fastening will be much more reliable than a nail.

7. Soldering iron stand

If you do not have a special stand for your soldering iron, attach a paper clip to it. Its staples barely heat up, so they won't burn your desktop.

8. How to unscrew a jammed cutting disc

If the cutting disc on the grinder is jammed, pour oil into the holes of the clamping nut. It will spread and lubricate the surfaces so the nut can turn.

9. Reliable loop on a sling made of tape

Take a piece of thin tube. Its length should correspond to the width of the tape. Then wrap the edge of the tape over the tube. Now, through the plates on both sides, connect the layers of tape with rivets.Thus, we get a loop that will not fray, even if a metal cable is passed through it.
