Easy-to-Read Markings

Stamped-in tool markings can be difficult to read. To solve this, buy some white fingernail polish, brush it on the tool and quickly wipe it with a clean cloth. The white polish stays in the grooves, and the numbers are easy to read at a glance. If the polish dries too quickly, you can use lacquer thinner to wipe it.

Defuzz Your Window Screens

If you live around a lot of cottonwood trees, and getting the 'fuzz' off your window screens each year is a chore you dread, use a lint roller. Just do a few swipes across the screen surface and the fuzz comes right off. It works on spider webs and other debris, too. To clean high screens without using a ladder, duct-tape the lint roller to a pole.

Duct Tape Drink Holder

Keep a roll of duct tape on the center floorboard in your vehicle. It works great as a cup holder, and it's just sticky enough to stay put. When you need the roll, you'll know right where to find it.
