The following list includes a total of 6 useful screwdriver hacks that can help you when you least expect it. You can check out the entire list and tips below. Who knew a screwdriver could be so versatile!

1.) If you need to oil a chainsaw, lawnmower or car and do not have a funnel all you have to do is hold the screwdriver over the opening or wherever you need the oil to go, place the tip of the screwdriver into the opening and pour the oil slowly onto the screwdriver. The oil is so thick it will follow the screwdriver into or onto whatever part you are trying to toil. Keep in mind that if you pour too quickly it will spill over.

2.) If you cannot find a screwdriver and all you have is a screwdriver bit for your drill then just grab a pair of vice grips and place the drill bit between the “teeth” and clamp down. Now you have a makeshift screwdriver.

 3.)  Can’t find the right size wrench because the ones you have are too big? Grab a screwdriver stick it in the open space between the wrench and the bolt and twist. There you go instant fix!

 

4.) What you need now is a small neodymium magnet, place it on your screwdriver about an inch from the tip, then place a screw on the tip of your screwdriver and voila- instant magnetic screwdriver.

5.) Last but not least if you have a screw that is way bigger than your screwdriver all you have to do is take a rubber band, place it over top of the screw and use your screwdriver as normal to remove the screw.
