Home Hand Tools Tips:

Ever have a picture around the home fall because the holes behind it gave out. How about a lock plate on your door that will no longer keep the door safely locked because either someone tried to push it in or theres been too many slams over the years.


Here’s a couple tips: For those who may not know there is plastic inserts at your local hardware store which will fit most common screw holes. When inserted in the hole they expand and grip when the screw is re-inserted repairing the striped out hole no major hand tools required.

Here’s another trick and doesn’t require leaving home. Get some wooden matchsticks or tooth picks or any small sliver of wood then use any wood glue and shoot some of it into the stripped out hole, insert the wood then re-insert the screw.

Denny,

I liked the match stick idea. Better than spending money to by anchors.
