00:00Repairman will never tell you these eight money-saving tips.
00:03Paint dripping everywhere? Stretch a rubber band across the can opening.
00:06Wipe the brush on the band to remove excess paint.
00:09It keeps the rim clean and saves paint. Really useful.
00:12Need a waterproof outdoor light? Drill a hole in a jar lid and install a bulb socket.
00:16Screw the glass jar onto the lid. It protects the bulb from rain and looks great.
00:20Total cost? Almost zero.
00:22Can't drill a straight hole? Glue a small bubble level to the back of your drill.
00:26Check the bubble before you start.
00:27Now every hole is perfectly perpendicular. Very practical.
00:31Don't throw away worn-out screwdrivers. Cut a slot in the tip and heat it up.
00:35Bend it to create a curve.
00:36Now you have a mini crowbar for pulling small nails.
00:39Gives old tools a new life. Dropping screws in deep, narrow gaps?
00:43Here is a clever trick. Poke the screw through a piece of tape.
00:47Tape it securely to the screwdriver tip.
00:49Now you can reach tight spots without losing the screw.
00:52Tighten it up and just pull the tape free.
00:54Struggling to open a chain link with just pliers?
00:57Insert your pliers into the link.
00:59Wedge a wrench between the plier handles.
01:01Strike the wrench with a hammer.
01:03The leverage forces the jaws open instantly.
01:06Smart use of physics.
01:07Shoelace tip frayed and ruined.
01:09Cut a small piece of plastic straw.
01:11Slide it over the frayed end and heat it with a lighter.
01:14The plastic shrinks and seals the lace.
01:16Works like new.
01:17Theoolace tip frayed and ΡΠ·Π½Π° lands in space.
