3 simple useful tools that can be made in 10 minutes
Straight arms and a little intelligence allow you to invent a variety of tools and devices to improve your life. We offer 3 ready-made ideas that are easy to implement. At least one of them may be useful to you in the near future.
1. Long handle for shoe brush
To avoid bending over when cleaning shoes, you can make a long handle for it. This is very convenient, especially for people with large backs or joints. To do this, you will need a paint roller handle and the brush itself. In the latter, a hole is drilled, equal in diameter to the rod on the roller.
Next, the rod on the roller handle is aligned and bent at the end. Then a brush is glued onto its edge.
Now you can use it to clean shoes without bending.
2. Device for stripping wires
To make such a device, a small piece of rail is required.
It is necessary to make notches on it in the transverse direction, for example, with a file clamped into a drill.
You can prepare several of them, of different depths and widths. A mounting knife blade is screwed onto the top of the rail.
Now, by pulling the wires under it, you can quickly cut off the insulation.
3. Bearing puller with reverse hammer
It is necessary to prepare a small plate and make a V-shaped cut in it to hook the bearings on the shaft. It should be sharpened inside by removing one trigger.
Next, align the rod on the handle from the roller. A wide washer of a suitable size is put on it, and the rotor core of a small electric motor, which will work like a reverse hammer.
All that remains is to weld a hook from the plate onto the edge of the tool. To keep it tight, you will need to use a strip staple. If you weld directly, the welding may simply be torn off by impacts.
To remove the bearing, you need to pick it up with a device and knock it down, throwing the core along the rod towards the handle. It turns out very efficiently and quickly.
