Any matter can be solved much faster if you know the technology. We offer a selection of useful tips for the home handyman. It includes recommendations for issues that we may encounter at home or in the workshop.
1. Repairing a mop or broom handle
To attach a new handle instead of a broken one to a mop or broom, you can screw a cap from a PET bottle into the place where it is attached.
Then the neck of the bottle is put on the handle and heated with a hairdryer until it shrinks completely.
After this, the handle with the new thread can be screwed into the lid.
2. Extension wall mount
The socket block on the extension cord often does not have the ability to hang it on the wall. Cable ties can be used to secure it. To do this, we bait them from the edges of the block, but do not tighten them to the end.
Then we insert another tie into them and form small rings. Only after this can the first ones be tightened to the end. As a result, we get fastenings for hanging.
3. How to drill horizontally
To keep the drill strictly horizontal when drilling into walls, a box wrench will help. You need to hang it on the drill. If you change the angle, the key will move and become loose.When holding the drill horizontally, it will hang quietly on the smooth shank.

4. Handle for mounting blade from door hinge
If you have lost the handle of the mounting knife, you can replace it with a door hinge. The blade is clamped directly between its flaps using a bolt and nut.
5. Connection of plastic pipes of the same diameter
To join two plastic pipes of the same diameter, you need to make a socket on one of them. To do this, its edge is heated with a hairdryer until softened.
After this we join the pipes. The pliable walls will expand, and the cold pipe will enter the hot one.
6. Hammering nails in hard-to-reach places
In hard-to-reach places, nails can be immersed in the material by pressing them with a clamp. This is not applicable everywhere, but when laying, for example, a cable, this method often helps.
7. Quickly insert the cable lug onto the stranded conductor
Putting a cable lug on a fluffy stranded core is not at all easy. However, if you tighten it with a cable tie, then everything fits in just fine.
We insert the core, and then cut off the tie so that it does not interfere. After this you can do the crimping.
