But with a little distance and seen through adult eyes, there are a few tricks that he didn&#8217;t know back then. If you want to really impress your old man the next time you visit your parents, we&#8217;ve got the following simple but brilliant tips for you!<\/p>\n<h2>#1 DIY Holder<\/h2>\n<p>With a little button magnet under your glove, you won&#8217;t have to worry about where to put your nails when hammering.<\/p>\n<h2>#2 Saving Screws<\/h2>\n<p>If the screwdriver won&#8217;t take hold because the profile of the screw is messed up, you can use a hacksaw to make new grooves.<\/p>\n<h2>#3 Closure + suspension for tubes <\/h2>\n<p>You can not only close a silicone tube or similar with a broad piece of tape &#8211; if you drill a hole in the tape, it will also act as a suspension. <\/p>\n<h2>#4 Connect cables, trick 1 <\/h2>\n<p>You can connect two cable ends together by loosening a piece of the insulation at each end, forming the wires inside into two bundles each and twisting them together. Now just wrap the exposed wire with insulating tape &#8211; done!<\/p>\n<h2>#5 Loosen cable tie <\/h2>\n<p>If a cable tie gets caught in the guide, you can loosen it again with a small piece of plastic, e.g. cut out of a plastic bottle.<\/p>\n<h2>#6 Impro wrench<\/h2>\n<p>Out of a (sufficiently large) screw and a nut you can build a DIY wrench as shown in the video.<\/p>\n<h2>#7 Iron out dents <\/h2>\n<p>You can literally iron out dents in (unpainted) wood: Just moisten the wood with a little water beforehand and put something between the iron and the workpiece, such as a piece of kitchen towel as shown in the video.<\/p>\n<h2>#8 Floor protector <\/h2>\n<p>You can quickly make a felt glider replacement out of a sponge by cutting it into cubes and then attaching them to the chair legs (or whatever else needs padding).<\/p>\n<h2>#9 Measuring Tape Holder<\/h2>\n<p>To prevent a tape measure from constantly retracting, you can hammer a nail into the wood as a holder.<\/p>\n<h2>#10 Cord dispenser <\/h2>\n<p>If you cut a hole in a plastic bottle and drill a hole in the lid, you can put a roll of string or something similar in there and pass the end of the string through the neck of the bottle and the lid.<\/p>\n<h2>#11 Connecting Cables, Trick 2 <\/h2>\n<p>Another way to connect cable ends with each other: Loosen a piece of insulation at both ends and slip a plastic sleeve over one end. Now twist the exposed wires together and slide the sleeve over the spot. If you now heat the sleeve with a lighter, the plastic will contract and insulate the wire.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of our DIY tips?
