I just wanted to see what the hammer & fork was used for.
OrcasWaling same, lol
It's used to raise view counts XD
Me too lol I thought it was some custom stud finder or something.
para hacer la carne blanda
Same
NICE
About the last tip cutting a bolt: cut beyond the nuts, hence when you unfasten the nuts they fix the end winding of the thread
zapopper, how do you know which end he was going to use?
probably because chucking up on the treads tight enough to do that is going to ruin them.
My mind is officially blown. This old dog learned something new today. Thanks.
An astonishing array of ingenious hacks using common hand tools.
14 extremely optimistic tool hacks.
Jonathan Carreño
Anyone else notice the phillips head screw change to a flat head screw at 0:43?
Yes, that's the real hacking.
And the shape of the blade changed too. It's magic!
Edward Focha good eye
Are you guys blind. The items stayed the same. It's all useful stuff. Stop being so negative
Pot, kettle.
Collective Learning is what keeps CZcams useful to the survival of humanity. This video should get a Nobel Prize Category of its own.
this video blew my mind with so many ideas and uses for tools. it's like McGiver had just put on a seminar !!!!!
Had never thought that an elastic can be used as a buffer to a worn screw recess
They can, sometimes, although I've found that if it's going to come out at all, its a matter of applied pressure. Having worked in refurb, the amount of stripped screws I've had to remove astounds me. More often than not the elastic got in the way.
.... except it doesn't work. Use vise grips, not this joke of a hack.
That screw wasn't worn. It was a pozidriv screw and he was trying to turn it with a philips screwdriver.
Vice grips solves every problem :)
you can't use vise grips when the head is recessed and there is nothing to grab, jackass.
Prison shanks. Lots of prison shanks
The first night I was in this one prison, you could hear about 200 guys all down the tier rubbing their knives against the concrete sharpening them. scratch, scratch, scratch.
+Clint Walker are u sure they werent rubbing something else ?
You've never even seen the inside of a prison have you?
I guess they needed something to shave with. :) Or to cut the fruit for makin' moonshine. 200 guys at the same time? Musta been some nasty and big kind of prison clint.
The brush attached to the cordless drill REALLY does clean the shower grout.
October 14, 2022 - I "tucked" the link to this video away in a "drafts folder" with the intention of sharing with others years ago. I never sent it out, but I'm glad I found it again and will share it now. My sincere thanks to the folks that created this video. Well done.
sent it to myself on 5/12/17 for future reference... it is now 6/25/24, ha ha
5 minute crafts for 9 minutes! Thanks! ;p
The wire stripper was genius.
Chris MCMLXXXII I'd be fired in a heartbeat if I stripped cable like that.
Or you could just get, you know, a wire stripper.
professional automotive repair tech here , and the coins in the wrench is one I'd never seen or thought of ,very cool video !
5-Minute Crafts i'll forget in 5 Minutes
Mrbiolumin what u will frgt
Can you say me risio
Did anybody else think that the fork hammer was used to put a nail in between and then just smack the hammer down with the nail attached into the wood lol.
I have a novelty hammer that as a hammer head on one side and a bottle-opener in place of the claw. It has never been used for anything but kitchen stuff.
That's exactly what I thought. I don't think I'm going to use my dirty, greasy hammer as a meat tenderizer. lol
Honestly, just get a meat tenderizer. They should be pretty easy to find, and pretty cheap.
... Funky Crumpet ... why not give it a go. Let us know.
No because you would want to put the nail in accurately
That nut & bolt wrench was pretty awesome.
Jim Brown257 exactly the one that made me hit the like button
You try it with a bolt done up and your going to be disappointed.
Why not just use the correct size wrench to begin with?
good
@Matthew. For times when you don't have a wrench, but you have the nuts and bolts.
That's what most of these are... for times when you don't have the right tools.
Obsessed with holding nails on a hammer.
you take more time making the 'hack' than the time you'd spend hammering the nails into whatever object. Just bring the container with the nails...Also it doesn't work for bigger nails, either the nails drop off as a bigger force is applied to the nail due to added weight and harder swinging of the hammer.
Also, it isn't that hard to hold nails in your non dominant hand. I've done that for years at work.
This is all golden advice you will probably forget one year from now.
some of these aren't hacks, they are proper usage.
yeah my I/O operator was malfunctioning
except for the double-wrencing and coins in the wrench
Helpful for us amateurs that didn't know, though. Like hooking the tape measure slot on a nail, and that your cutter has a built-in piece to break away to a fresh blade. Also consider that we amateurs are the ones that never have the proper tool on hand.
The issue is a lot of these are proper usage, and a lot of them made me cringe and for someone who doesn't know a lot about tools it could be dangerous to confuse them.
"why are all your wrenches broken?"
I saw it on youtube...
My electric can opener broke, so I got a manual hand operated knob type. Broke the knob off and applied a Tyrap to keep the spindle from falling out. Then I put it in the cordless drill. Opens cans in a flash!
This is awesome. Many actually "mind blowing" moments where I went "OH!" outloud! Also useful for the many examples of lateral thinking.
I lost an arm a while ago. A lot of the 'hacks' shown here are very relevant and welcome to me. Thank you.
7:47 that's not a toothbrush. now THIS is a toothbrush.
6:53 the hammer and fork make a meat tenderizer. You're welcome
Chris Nguyen and ton height j
Thanks
Just use your kitchen hammer. Gourmet only.
As someone who woodworks some of these are actually really clever, helpful things that Idk how I didn't think of.
Nice, fast moving video. No time wasting explanations needed. THANK YOU!!
Number 51: Use car keys to drive to tool store.
In fact, you'd use a car. Nice try though
to buy a proper wrench ( 3:41 )
VoteScientist nn
This video is resourceful and pure genius. Skill wise, any one can drive and car and shop. You are wasting money at the tool store!
so agree - you can have a tool for everything but it's not there when you want it... how to be resourceful
An exacto knife working the way it's intended is a hack?
Using a wrench on a screwdriver to apply more torque, which is the intended use on such screwdrivers, seems to be a hack as well...
we can keep going, using a nail to hold the end of your tape? but come on now, using two nuts on a bolt to loosen or tighten a similar sized nut? that one is nifty.
mike james or you just use a fucking wrentch! like atf people these things exist for a reason - to be used. they arent expensive and if u dont have one just ask your damn neighbor
I think the intention of the hack is if you're stuck and don't have a wrench.
all those hacks and that's the one thing you point out? why is everyone so critical these days?!
Wow, snapping off an old Stanley knife blade..... truly mind blowing!
It's almost like they're designed to do that!
Ive bin a mechanic for 10 years i can tell you I love the wrench and coin trick! Say you cant find the correct wrench or dont have the size wrench, for the bolt or nut your unscrewing. Adding coins to the wrench trick is a life saver!!
There's definitely more than 14 hacks in this video (lol)
yes but how many ways did they show to hold onto nails ? Using ones hand is faster than buggering about finding a magnet or elastic band .
Martina Guilherme Florencio yes but only 14 where mindblowing
Often your other hand is not free, is holding what you are nailing, but of course this is the reason to have a tool belt, so you have a whole pocket full of fasteners.
Martina Guilherme Florencio Really? The rest just werent hacks (just intended use) or really not mind blowing.
Stinky Cheese I've used my mouth, pockets on normal pants, held the nails between my hand and what i'm holding onto and more to the same if not better effect. tried the magnet thing once and almost got a nail in my eye cause they all flew off
1 wrench, impossible to turn the bolt. 2 wrenches, loosens bolt no problem. When life throws a wrench in your gears, grab another wrench.
Ben Miller heh. this actually made me laugh.
haha
Ben Miller )8
For the record though people thinking the drill thing was a bad idea was bogus... but you might want to be careful trying that if your on the brawny side. Wrenches turned sideways like that aren't that hard to snap. There is a reason they are shaped with the thickest part of the metal the plane of force you are applying. Odd's are if you can't get to loosen with one wrench the force it would take doing that would snap the second one.
I highly recommend tapping it a few times with a rubber mallet, or a chunk of 2x4 to "break" the nut.

This, outside of the musical and then comedy videos ... this video is the best one for DYI people including myself.
that is 7 min of my life ill never get back.... thank you
the soda tab for a picture hanger just blew my mind
Dan Buchanan ΜΚΟ σφυρι
5:10 "Cigarette lighter" :^) Thanks for teaching me how to dab without a torch.
that electrical wiring cut was dope
The box cutter one blows my mind when people don't know the blade snaps so you can get a fresh cut and utilize more of the tool, rather than keep buying a whole blade.
Some of these are cool, some of them aren't hacks, but most of them should be replaced with the caption, "go and buy the tool you need for the job."
I've got 40,000 deck screws. Anyone wanna come over and help me soap each one up individually?
I dip the tips in grease or oil. Reduces battery drain on cordless too
My late Grandfather (1889-2001) used soap or candle wax on wood screws. He drove all of them by hand and did not have the luxury of power screwdrivers. This one really works.
Just pour liquid soap into the container of screws and shake it up. Problem solved.
for people who DIY all the time they know this video is dope
Very nice tips. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
the knife is not a hack is something all should have known
3:49 "sir do you have any idea how your house burnt down"
"Well I used a match head to make my hanger stay on the wall"
Everyone in the comment section is a genius lol
I was actually very surpised by the lighter being able to solder two wires together with just a piece of copper and flux. That was badass
No tiene desperdicio. Espectacular. Muchas ideas. Algunas ya las hago, pero otras las voy a poner en practica. Gracias
Some of these hacks are against the rules of safety.
Jotdee quiet a few are.
F... SAFETY, hahaha
The secret tool is clickbait and hot glue.
Danny LOL.
BEST DIY VIDEO EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I DID REALLY ENJOY IT.
Woman at handy work, you gotta love this.
This is worth watching for the grout cleaning idea at 7:37 onwards.
mikes78, yeah I thought so too until I asked where do I get a brush like that?
They make drill heads that have that brush on them instead of cobbing one just buy the right tool.
And use spray-able Bar Keepers Friend for best results
Or you could just throw away your Philips head screws and use Robertson Head screw like we figured out in Canada years ago.
best comment. Henry Phillips probably just wanted to sell more screws and drivers by designing them to wear quickly
A lot of quality deck screws here tend to be robertson or torx now actually. But even in canada, if you're working on something from before it was common practice, you're going to run into something that still used phillips.
I think torx are the best.
Im all in for torx or allen head
wow Canadians are so advanced, I will have to stop laughing at them now ehhh
I was legit about to fall asleep with this music haha
1:25 It amazes me that box cutters have been around for so long and yet so little people know about that specific design feature that it's still considered a "hack"
*Yes, because everyone should have small magnets, copper wires, small pencil sharpeners, empty tic tac containers and spare parts off a 1952 stealth fighter laying around the house...*
FroQQer only if you are a horder
@FroQQer lol😄👊😎
lol
I've already said to much. I shouldn't have said anything... *they're watching me*
Don't forget the nuclear waste
7:12 how to make a shank in daycare.... why the heck would you teach that??!
Glad I have so many options with my 3 nail wood projects.
i think the best one was the drill used as a electric jack for the car..... that's priceless
Common sense in 1990, MIND BLOWING LIFE HACK in 2017
Damn that guitarist needs to work on his time..
IDigFusion Right?
fuck I was hoping I wasn't the only one who picked up on that. I think it gave me ear cancer.
IDigFusion nothing wrong with hi play
Except... you know 3:27 where he pulls off a shit bend which frets out (probably due to playing it too far back from the fret bar), then plays a horrible note which is out of key and doesn't recover very well including some horrible note choices. Some of it is ok... some of it just hurts!
music for a porn movie or worst
All of these were quite good, when I am doing work around the house and the stores are closed having the hack ideas for tools is just brilliant. All the ideas are well done and don't be bothered by the rude comments, some people just need to grow up a little.
Nine minutes of my life I'll never get back
I laughed at several times watching this...because the ideas were that good!
There are so many helpless videos to this topic.
But this one is really helpfull!
So butiful# 9 & Happy times dear friend 🌹🌹 God bless
WOW! Amazing, simple everyday ideas. Many Thanks

jenny star acctaly its a great way to sharpen ur knifes
Things that you shouldn't do on this list :
Use any tool for food preparation purposes all tools have a thin layer of oil on them that is not good for digestion.
Do not use an electric drill and a hack saw to cut through a bolt this will cause a week point in the hacksaw blade meaning you will have to replace the blades more often this is due to concentrated heat made and the ware in one single point of the saw
Good points. I'd like to add that relying on magnets or rubber-bands to keep sharp pointy objects from flying off a hammer or other tool is probably a bad idea.
Good point
another tip : allways cut the bolt a
under nut position, not up like shown. so, if you damage the treads while cutting (blade could slip, for example) you'll be able to remake them by unbolting the nut. :)
floflospeed24
Really? What if they are too far damaged to get the bolts off? Then you can't use a rethreading die. Not saying I'm right, just curious.
Clever and good ideals ! Everybodys with use to it ! Little kids will learns more from this videos ! Mind strong 's thinking
This video has changed my life for the better
the music is just terrible. but the tips are good.
The car jack one is a great way to break your drill.
Or the jack.
Or your arm.
No No No.
That type of jack is intended to operated by a hand crank. Torque requirement is not great. A modern drill should be able to do this. An issue would be getting enough grip by the chuck.
Your arm is not at risk unless you hold on when the jack tops out...who would do this?
Your drill won't break because if torque requirement to too much drill just wont turn.
>That type of jack is intended to operated by a hand crank.
That was one of my issues with the setup. A hand crank might not be built to turn this fast. If you don't hold your drill completely straight everything could get bent out of shape.I mean sure, the jack breaking is probably the least likely scenario, but still, I don't think "electrically" operating something that's supposed to be operated by hand is good for it.
>Your arm is not at risk unless you hold on when the jack tops out...who would do this?
Or if something jams.
A friend of mine actually broke her arm, because she used some heavy duty Hilti drill to drill a hole in her cellar wall. The drill itself got stuck, which caused the machine to turn instead, breaking her arm in the process.
>Your drill won't break because if torque requirement to too much drill just wont turn.
It's true drills got that safety feature, but I gotta be honest, I don't entirely trust the durability of cheaper drills.
Yea, it's a really unbalanced weight. I had a drill piece (well, more like a wood work piece) bend on me and fly out of the drill at a rather high speed cause it was unbalanced x-x
Good point, Halbdea. It may be possible to use a powerful drill, but at least start off slow with it to make sure the car is supported properly, and the jack is actually supporting the weight. I cringe thinking the jack could come skittering out and the car falling, if the jack isn't in the correct location.
As long as the drill speed is variable based on trigger pressure I'm sure this could be done at a speed that is safe enough.
Why do I always fall asleep to these videos
Love all those hacks. The accompanying music was ear candy!
wow love it and amazing!

You know the MOST MIND-BLOWING part of this video?
It's been watched ALMOST FIVE MILLION TIMES in three months!
If only this video was posted back in the early 2000...life would have been a bit simplier.
I only came to see what the hammerfork in the thumbnail did. imagine my disappointment to learn it was just a tool for turning good steaks into shite
I know that Stodoys has the best woodworking plans ever.
cool
I've looked at many ways to use an empty tic tac box, but I never thought of using it as a pencil sharpener
Came for the awesome hacks.
Stayed for the music.

Did anyone else think the music was really bad
pancake 8702 yes
Nah, I love jazz, but each to their own
pancake0
That;s why there's a mute button or volume control.
Are you one of those people who prefer the skrillex 3D intros with the uneven dubstep music playing throughout the entire ten minute video whilst a ten year old rambles on about the best way of ''How to get ultimate swag money on roblox''?
Just wonderful. You help making life easier. Thank you
I usually stay far away from mind blowing hacks, but I do find these quite clever.
is this lil Wayne playing the killer guitar solo?
Jason Burton lol i was wondering the same thing lol it's so bad
Jason Burton great knowledge
boring
That's too much work to ruin a steak.
why
Anil Kumar hammers are for house work (dirty work). Not for preparing meat
Too lazy to do life hacks I would just find out what tools I need for each job. Sturdy tools are the winner. More entertainment than anything
*measuring tape end hooks onto the nail* OMG MIND BLOWN
This video deserve more than one thumbs up great info thanks.
well luckily for you this video had about 20,000 thumbs up before you commented
nope, because nothing is explained and just jumped over. Quality beats Quantity
I'm shocked, some of these are actually remotely useful.
I think your watching a different vid then i am mate
This is one of the first 'hack' videos that actually had ideas I'd never seen before. Thanks.
The last one was the best especially when you don't have a vice to hold a bolt!
i came for the crossbow thing ;-;
same to much click bait for me thumbs down
WAIT ILL MAKE IT FROM THE THUMBNAIL

Muy Util, muchas gracias por el video, gracias Bendiciones...........
About every third one or so was a really great idea. :)
