Uncommon uses for common things...

Post by ragingfish »

So I was bored tonight, and I found a new use for my cordless drill...I think it works damn well too... That's right folks! You're looking at 14.4V of pop-turning power! At full speed, about 700 rpm. Tootsie pop challenge, here I come baby!So what other uncommon uses have you guys come up with for everyday items?

I use a windshield wiper blade to clear the fog off the bathroom mirror.

i use a shower squeegee to clean off the vibe windows (especially the side passenger ones as rolling them down then up again doesn't work!) when there's a bit of frost. It's much wider than a snow/ice scraper so it works much faster....not to mention it fits perfectly in the driver door storage pocket!
I have signatures turned off so I'm not even sure what mine says in this space!
