Something quickly done in a hurry may well be a reliable, long-lasting solution. We offer a selection of life hacks that require no more than 5-10 minutes. You'll be surprised how easy it is to do something you've been putting off.
1. Rope connection
To connect two cables, just fold them overlapping, passing them through a regular nut. Then the latter is flattened with hammer blows.
It will compress the ends of the cables, and they will no longer be broken.
2. Fixing the nut in the wrench
To prevent the nut from falling out of the wrench while the bolt is being screwed in, you can secure it with tape. We glue it onto the key to make an improvised bottom. After this, the nut will no longer fall out.
3. Simple stand for engraver attachments
Engraver accessories can be stored in a foam stand. We just cut off a piece of foam rubber and glue it to the wall with hot glue. The attachments fit into it easily.

4. Lubricate the core drill
To prevent the core drill from overheating, you need to cut a foam insert into it. We place it in the crown and moisten it with water.
The liquid will then cool the drill while drilling.
5. Lubricate the twist drill
To prevent overheating of a conventional twist drill, a tube slightly larger in diameter will help. We take a short piece of it and put it on the drill. Then pour oil into the tube.
Due to surface tension, it will not leak even when drilling.
6. Marking for dowels
To mark the connection of wooden blanks with dowels, you can use nails. To do this, we place the parts next to each other, placing nails between them. Their caps should lie at the location of the dowels.
After this, we compress the parts or press the top with a hammer to leave dents with the nail heads. Now we drill the blanks according to the marks and insert the dowels.
7. Tube cable lug
The cable lug can be made from a tube whose internal diameter is equal to the thickness of the core. We take a piece of it and flatten the edge. Then we drill it and soak the corners.
After this, the homemade tip is crimped, just like a purchased one.

8. Sharpening scissors with a spark plug
The ceramic spark plug electrode sharpens scissors perfectly. You just need to cut it for a while, thereby removing burrs and other defects from the blades. After these simple steps, the scissors will cut again.
9. Spark plug drilling
You can drill a hole even in a thick-walled metal piece with a spark plug. To do this, you need to first cut its steel frame in a circle near the turnkey edges.
This allows you to get to the central electrode, which is used for drilling.
10. Tube for a tube of aerosol lubricant
Aerosol lubricants like WD-40 have a removable tube that is constantly lost. Simply tape the body of the ballpoint pen to the can of lubricant with electrical tape.It can be used as a tube, from which the tube will definitely not get lost.
11. Original sanding block
To make such a device, you will need two identical pieces of wood. They are folded together and drilled along the edges. Then a thread is cut into the hole using a regular metal tap.
After this, we wrap one block with sandpaper and press the edges of the sandpaper with the second block. Now we tighten the parts with bolts. That's it, the sanding block is ready.

12. Quick production of an awl or scriber
To make an awl or scriber, you need to screw a self-tapping screw into the end of a wooden handle.
After this, its cap is cut off and the edge is sharpened.
13. Sanding drum made of PP pipes
To make the drum you will need a small piece of PP pipe with a diameter of 25 mm. We cut it lengthwise and wrap it with sandpaper. The edges of the skin are fixed in the cut.
Then we insert the second piece of pipe into the drum, but with a diameter of 20 mm. After this, we put the workpiece on the bolt and tighten it with nuts through washers. Now such a drum can be used in a drill, screwdriver or drilling machine.
