How to stud tires using bolts and nuts
We make blind holes in the tread blocks (blocks) to a given depth. We clamp the bolt in the drill chuck and screw the heads into the holes.
We put washers on the bolts and tighten the nuts with a wrench.
How to make clothes out of blind rivets
Separate the head of the blind rivet from the leg.
We drill a hole in the head to fit the size of the leg. We knock out the rod from the second blind rivet and insert the body into the holes of the materials to be joined.
We put the drilled head on top of the rivet leg and flatten the end of the leg.
How to make a rotary impact screwdriver from a broken drill
Cut off the broken end of the twist drill.
Drill a hole in the extended nut to match the diameter of the drill. We drill a through transverse hole in the nut, cut a thread and screw in the wing screws that fit into the spiral groove of the drill.
We cut off part of the drill shank and weld a sleeve with an internal hexagon for the bits.
Use this tool to unscrew the tight fastener. To do this, insert the bit into the head of the screw and hit the end of the elongated nut.The spiral groove of the drill, interacting with the wing screws, unscrews any fastener.
How to make a master key for a door lock from an ordinary nail
Cut off the edges of the nail head, leaving a narrow strip the width of the nail shaft. Using the flame of a gas burner, we heat the nail rod under the head and bend the upper part at a right angle with pliers.
We cut off the excess part of the nail shaft, flatten the remaining part and drill a hole at the end.
We put it on a key ring and use it to pick a door lock.
How to repair eyelets on fabric or leather using a blind rivet
We replace the failed eyelet with a part of the blind rivet in the form of a hollow sleeve and head. To do this, we expand the hole in the material using a nail heated in the flame of a gas burner.
We insert the hollow bushing into the hole until it stops in the head and squeeze it in a vice until the weakened section of the bushing is deformed into a round side.
We cut off the vertical part of the sleeve and the hole in the material is again reliably protected.
How to carefully drill a hole in flat material using a piece of wood
To drill a neat hole in a flat, non-rigid material, we will use a wooden block. We form a blunt symmetrical wedge at the end of the block and make a longitudinal slot.
Next, in the wedge area, we drill 2 transverse holes of different diameters. We insert a flat material into the slot and use a drill through the holes in the block to easily drill neat holes in it.
How to Clean External Threads Using a Hacksaw Blade
We cut the blade in the middle at an oblique angle, insert a short screw into the holes at the ends of the blade and flatten the screw rod with a hammer.
We spread the halves of the canvas to the required angle and secure them in a vice. Give the stud or bolt a spin and pass it between the teeth of the blade parts several times to clean the threads of dirt.
How to tension a wire cord using an ordinary nail
In the middle of the nail head we make a longitudinal slot with a small transition to the rod and insert it into the hole drilled in the wooden block.
We heat the middle of the part of the nail rod protruding from the block and bend it at a right angle.
We insert the end of the wire into the slot and wrap it around the rod. Next, rotate the nail by its bent end and pull the wire.
How to make a convenient knife for ripping seams when repairing leather goods
We make a slot at the end of the steel strip and drill a transverse hole in the center closer to the end. We insert the replacement blade into the slot and secure it with a rivet. Leave 1 or 2 segments and the knife for ripping the seams of leather products is ready.
How to make a towel or clothes hook from a bolt and heat shrink tubing
We put a heat-shrinkable tube over the entire length of the bolt rod and heat it with a gas burner.
Screw a spherical nut onto the end of the bolt. We bend the ends of the bolt at right angles in one plane.
We fix the end with the head on the wall using a clamp that ensures the hook rotates to the sides.
How to securely attach a ring washer to the end of a cable
We drill a hole in the ring washer commensurate with the diameter of the cable, through which we pass the end of the cable and secure the resulting loop by flattening the tubular cable clamp.
How to make a strong connection from a blind rivet and a ball nut
We select a spherical nut of suitable size for the blind rivet.
We insert the rivet into the hole in the flat material.We put a spherical nut on the head of the rod from below and use a riveter to pull the rod out, but without breaking. Then we cut off the part of the rod protruding above the collar.
The released rod head is wedged into the spherical nut, creating a strong connection.
