Little-known ways to use a screwdriver

Almost everyone has a screwdriver. But not everyone knows how many unique features it has. Today we will introduce you to interesting and unusual methods of using a screwdriver.

Sanding inside holes

It is difficult to sand holes using sandpaper. There is one simple way to correct the situation - take a screwdriver, a crown with a diameter smaller than the recess, sandpaper or something similar.

Let's connect them and polish them!

Drilling in difficult materials

Processing a pile of paper or leather is problematic. Such products are torn. You can solve the problem like this:

• Take a tube from the antenna, whose outer diameter should be equal to the intended hole.
• The tip should be sharpened using sandpaper.
• We simply fix the tube in a screwdriver.

That's it, now you can drill it out.

Working with a certain depth

If the task is to make a hole in a workpiece to a specific depth, you can use masking tape.

It is glued to the right place. This way you won't touch too much.

Self-tapping screws at hand

If you attach a magnet to a screwdriver, the screws will always be at hand. Everything ingenious is simple!

Screwing in hooks

The bat can be modified specifically for hooks. An incision is made in the middle using a grinder.

Then you need to insert the cut directly into the hook and you can screw it in.

Thorough cleaning of surfaces

In this case, a high power device is used. For rough work, nozzles made of metal wire should be used. Polymer brushes also perform well.

A “plate” with a sponge can also help in some situations.

Sharpener

There are two ways to go. Or the repair is inserted into a screwdriver or a pencil.

Now you can sharpen like crazy.

Motor for boat

You can try making an “electric oar”. It will allow you to control a small boat. An excellent option for spinning fishing.

The simplest device looks like a fan mounted on a rod. In this case, “Shurik” will have to be held back. More complex products can also be made - the structures can be mounted on the transom, made from an angle grinder gearbox, have a corner element, etc. The base is most often made from ordinary plywood.

Useful mixer

If kitchen appliances break down, inventors use “shurik”.

The whisk is also made independently - from stationery scissors, forks, wire, etc. A mixer of this type can also be used for construction purposes - for mixing grout or paint.

Drive for meat grinder

If you have an old shredding device, you can give it a boost. To do this, you will have to come up with an adapter that will be fixed in the drill chuck.

Now you can enjoy the grinding process.

Making holes for planting plants

If the ground is not dry, use a screwdriver to make fairly deep holes. This solution gives an excellent result, but provided that the bed is covered with film.

The attachments are screws, crowns or old metal discs.

Cleaning fruits and vegetables

In this case, you will need to use a feather drill. The product should be placed on it. And then we simply remove the peel using a peeler.

Drive for squeezing out sealant

Battery tube guns are expensive. If you have to work with a viscous mass for a long time, you can use a trick.

Instead of a rod, a threaded rod is installed, and a nut of the required size is glued into the gun.

Electric scooter or do-it-yourself kart

The Shurik drive can help in this case too. The main thing is that there is enough torque. You just need to think about how to make the brakes, transfer traction to the wheel, and organize gas control.

An excellent option would be to use bicycle parts.

Preparing fish bait

If you fish using a lot of bait, a screwdriver will become your assistant. The main thing is that it is rechargeable.

To prepare dry food in quantities of more than 20 kg, insert a mixing attachment into the screwdriver. It is she who will stir the bait. This is good advice - now you won’t have to overwork your hands by spending several hours at the bucket.

Electrification of the jack

You can make a drive to the jack.Then the latter will gain the ability to lower and raise the car due to the fact that the handle will rotate.

Cleaning sewer pipes

It's simple. You will need a plumbing cable and a screwdriver. In addition, to complete the work, you need to use a special nozzle, it is sold in hardware stores.

If there is no corkscrew

It happens that there is a “shurik”, but the opener is missing. Then you can take a self-tapping screw and screw it into the plug using the device.

Then the nail is pulled out with pliers.

Polishing shoes with shoe polish

Using a screwdriver, you can quickly polish all your shoes to a shine. How to do this is not difficult to guess.

Winding springs and twisting wires

Masters of various profiles may find this advice useful. Just try twisting the cable using a screwdriver in the junction box.

And also “Shurik” will help you curl simple springs yourself.

To drill holes for winter fishing

You will need a powerful device, its battery must be capacious. Then you can make up to 100 holes on one charge!

If the ice drill is good, the screwdriver will drill through the ice in just a couple of seconds.

Cleaning the toilet

All people are ready to give up cleaning the bathroom if someone else does it for them. And if there is no such person, a screwdriver will do the job.

They put a brush on it and off they go. This can also be used to clean tiles in the bathroom or kitchen.

As you can see, you can’t do without a screwdriver. The main thing is to use your imagination, and there will be a use for it.
