I used to think these types of things were gimmicks on tools… Until I needed a square to draw a 90 degree line and I saw it printed on the saw. Any port in a storm! #tools #grownostr

Put a knot in it! No really, when you are working with corded power tools and you pull the cord and it becomes unplugged. That’s frustrating! Now, when you plug it back, put the plugs in a knot (like the picture) that will keep those plugs from becoming unplugged… When your at the top of a ladder! Cheers! #grownostr #diy

Don't like wasps? However, you also don't like the chemicals in commercial wasp sprays? I have found a solution! Get a good spray bottle and fill with water and put a tsp. of dish soap in it. Turn bottle to spray a stream... You need to throughly hit and soak the wasp, but the soapy water will choke and kill the wasp within a couple of minutes! Works VERY well! ☠️ And you don't have to worry about a cloud of unknown insect spray wafting down on you! Cheers! #tips #grownostr #gardening

Quick Tip: When you are trying to match up bolts or figure out if the threads match. Line up the threads on the two bolts. (Like the picture) If the threads interlock and mesh with each other, the bolts at least are the same thread pitch. Then you compare the diameter. If they are not the same thread, then they won’t fit together. This is a quick way of finding out if you have the same size bolts. Very handy when you have a mix of SAE and Metric threads. #grownostr #metalworking #diy
