Rubber Bands And Stripped Screws

Like broken lightbulbs, stripped screws can be seriously slippery devils. You might not be able to get a good grip on them, even with your handy screwdriver. To make sure that your screwdriver sticks to these loose screws, try wrapping elastic bands around the heads tightly. This will allow you to get the traction that you need before yanking them out. All that you need for this trick (alongside your toolbox) is a good handful of rubber bands.

A Bar Of Soap And Nail Holes

So, now that you have removed your unwanted nails, you might be wondering how to neatly cover up the holes. For this job we recommend a bar of soap that you would be happy to sacrifice. If you smear the bar of soap in a clockwise motion over the hole, then it will soon fill with pleasant-smelling filler. Finish the job by wiping away the excess flakes with a warm, wet towel, and then pat yourself on the back.
