Seven tips on how to use a door hinge at home, boil tea on a paint can, cut a plastic pipe with a beer stopper and repair a boss on a metal cable.

Unscrew the loose screw

The core of the wood board is not dense enough, so self-tapping screws with strong force can ruin the threads in the material. Then the screw, no matter how you twist it, will remain in place. A small nail placed under the loop opposite the screw will help you get out of the situation.

Beer steel cork cutter

The cork needs to be flattened into an oval shape with a jagged circle. A hole is drilled in the middle of the plug for a thin bolt, the end of which is inserted into the drill.

With such a cutter you can cut a plastic pipe along and across the blade.

Nut instead of standard boss

You can repair the cable of a motorcycle, bicycle, or exercise machine at home using a nut. You need to insert the end of the cable into the steel nut and flatten it with a hammer. Trim the protruding ends of the cable with a grinder.

How to tighten a bolt with a screwdriver

The main thing in this matter is to make equipment from a bolt and a tool head. In this case, there must be a through hole in the head. You also need a long bolt to fit the head. To secure the head bolt you will need a washer and nut.

Homemade cutter from a door hinge and a spare blade of a stationery knife

To implement the idea, you will need a hinge and a bolt that matches the diameter of the hole on the blade. The resulting cutter is safe for the user since the cutting edge is located inside the loop.

Joint and blade planer

Here the blade is not attached through the hole, but is simply compressed by the hinge halves. The cutting edge is on the outside of the loop. The plow can remove plastic stickers and even car tint film.
