10 tricky tips from the experts

You will be surprised how quickly and easily you can sometimes do something that would seem to take hours. This collection contains ideas to make tasks you may be faced with easier. All of them are done in 5 minutes.

1. How to align the end of a plastic pipe for a T-joint

The most accurate way to prepare the end of a plastic pipe for a T-shaped connection is to grind it against the adjacent pipe with sandpaper laid on top. If the sandpaper is coarse-grained, then this will take 5 minutes.

2. Double roller for painting slats and bars

Take a regular roller and cut its rod in half to attach the fur coat. Weld the cut part on the side at a right angle. Then put two short fur coats on the resulting fasteners. After this, you can use this tool to paint both sides of the slats or bars at once.

3. Magnetic tape measure mount

The magnet from the speaker can be used to secure the tape measure. Sometimes this may be necessary.

4. How to unscrew a foot or barrel with pliers

If you do not have the necessary key, many plumbing elements can be unscrewed with pliers. Just squeeze them not with sponges, but with hands.

5. Grinding attachment for engraver

Take a length of glue stick for your glue gun and drill through it. Insert the holder into this hole and screw the screw into it through the washer.

As a result, the silicone will expand and will be able to hold the sandpaper.

6. Sling hook

Take a thick wire and bend it into an M-shaped piece, starting from the edge. The width of the zigzags should correspond to the width of the sling. Next, bend the long edge twice at a right angle. Remove the rest of the wire extending beyond the width “M”.

This hook fits onto the sling. Now you can wrap it around it for tension and fix it.

7. Fastening pipes with Velcro

To secure the pipe, which has to be removed periodically, screw 2 strips of Velcro to the wall. As a result, we get a clamp with quick fixation.

8. Refinement of the worm clamp

In order not to use a screwdriver every time to tighten the worm clamp, weld a wing nut onto the head of its screw. This will allow you to rotate it by hand.

9. Drawing circles with a drywall hanger

To draw a circle, screw part of the suspension to the surface with a self-tapping screw. Then inserting a pencil into its perforation, you can draw circles of the desired diameter.

10. How to make a wooden washer

A washer can be made from wood or plywood by installing 2 saws of the required diameter into the bit holder at once. Thus, the washer can be obtained in one drilling.
