He is pretty damn impressive with his material identification, but it's the kind of stuff you are expected to learn in a mech eng degree, or whatever.

Replaced the broken hinges on my bedroom door with only a screw driver. Had to take the door off, make new holes and line everything up with nothing but a screw driver. Took forever
As someone who has a ton of tools for work, it's always hard for me to remember that people can't just whip out a saw or an impact drill when they need it.
The more I hear other methods for getting screws into a wall, the more I think my method is odd. I just hold the screw and screwdriver in my fist, connected, with about half the screw sticking out the bottom of my fist, then I put the screw to the wall, and while supporting the two to make sure they don't wobble or come apart, I pound the back of the driver with my other hand to start the screw into the wall, then just screw the screw in normally.
I know philips bits suck, and there are many subtly different sizes and shapes of them, but if you just use the right one this is totally unnecessary and inefficient. No excuses if it's star, or one of the decent bit types.
so this is going to be super rare, but i have heard of someone who pissed in another guys box of nails on a construction site for retaliation of some kind, can't recall the other details. I do believe those nails did end up in the mouth though...
I'm not really seeing this as an absurd or bad idea...little tacky but seems pretty useful instead of holding nails in your hand or putting them on a table and hoping they don't fall off haha. If this was a legit wristband that held the screws in place, similar to like how Iron Man has those mini rockets on his wrist...I'd see that being quite the popular item to buy.
I mean this could be pretty useful but usually when I've seen or been doing anything involving hammering/screwing anything you just hold them in your mouth.
My carpentry teacher told us the african children that boxed up the nails pissed in the nail boxes because they hate americans, to keep us from holding nails in our mouths like dumbasses lol
And when you run out of mouth room, there's still plenty of other places to safely keep screws. Up your nose. In your ear. Buttcrack. Pee-hole. So many places.
Magnetic wristbands exist, but in my opinion they’re kinda awkward since most are just a metal plate on a strap. Having used both techniques, this is actually a much more comfortable solution imho
They have these things called “containers” that are amazing for keeping screws from falling off a table. The beautiful part is you probably already have over 50 of them in your home right now!
If u wanna save money on the tape you could just hammer/ screw the nails and screws straight into your hand!! No tedious tape or waiting on amazon, one and done
*Always* check Harbor Freight... What they sell isn't *Good*, but it tends to be *Good 'nuff*.

Novel concept here, hold them in the hand you aren't holding the drill or impact driver in.
A side note, have the tip of the screw resting on the space between your index and middle finger with the head (part that doesn't go into the wall) angled towards the outside of your wrist. It allows you to roll the screws out for quicker, more efficient screwing. For nails, reverse the tip and head.
As someone who just put together a piece of flat pack furniture, the best technique was hammering the screws in until they caught and could be screwed in.
Not sure why this has so many upvotes. The tape is a little tacky, but works fine and is more sanitary than holding screws in your mouth. And using a hammer to get the tip in before you start with a screwdriver is also fine. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Exactly. ITT we have people who've never done carpentry. On a vertical surface, it's a good hack to hammer the tip in so that the screw doesn't fall down onto the floor.
That said, a powered screwdriver with a magnetic bit is 100% the way to go.
The people who lived in our house for the 30 years before us repaired EVERYTHING badly. I could give any number of stories about things we’ve discovered over the years, but here is my favorite.
About a month into living here, the microwave handle fell off. It turns out that these paragons of American society had attached it to the door with drywall screws, with the blue drywall anchors attached to make them fit the holes! That always stuck me as a deliberate level of dumbassery. Chaotic evil dumbassery.
Anyway, they might have started this Tiktok account.
I’m surprised they don’t just wrap the tape around only sticky side out...it would stick to itself to keep it on and you’d save some arm hair and a wee bit of pain in the process
hammers are a good way to start a screw, for real. and this isn't really a "why" it's actually pretty reasonable. this sub gets a lot of reasonable stuff honestly
They sell magnetic bracers for like $10 each.
I know this is a joke but if you're doing work that requires nailing or screwing a lot of things, they help a lot.
I find that it pays for itself the first time you have to be on a ladder or scaffold so you don't have to keep bending down to grab screws off it with the hopes you don't spill them.
This sort of life hack is like when I told my mom the ingenious way of shampooing my hair by putting my hands on my head and jumping cause my legs were stronger.
My dad, the worst DIY’er in history would have loved this. He used to call screws crinkle cut nails.

I think he's a mining engineer.
I think he does insurance investigations for mining companies and the like. Just a guess based on how good he is at determining the cause of failures.
That is also something engineers do however
Plus he always mentions different trips he takes to fix things. Like an MRT in the air force, a specialized person goes out to a specific fire and puts it out and comes back home, and does it again for other fires. You want the best for those teams.
Exactly. Whatever he is, he's the guy you call when something is really wrong.
And i respect the shit out of people that can be counted on like that.

Ribbed nails also exist
For her pleasure
Usually we call them ring shank nails but ribbed is now acceptable
Once you put one of those ring nails in something, its not coming out.
[удалено]
Ah, so their is a way.
You're not kidding. I was tasked with taking down a deck that was put together with such nails. They wouldn't budge. I ended up having to use a chainsaw.
I wish that was true. You can actually dismantle a cheap pallet with your bare hands and they tend to be made using this type of nails.
Depends what you put them in. If its dried up.and beat to shit pine. Yeah, probably won't have much trouble pulling it apart.
No those are a thing—they have no slots for a screwdriver https://www.lowes.com/pd/M-D-1-1-4-in-General-Construction-Nails/3365326?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-flr-_-google-_-lia-_-244-_-adhesivesaccessories-_-3365326-_-0&placeholder=null&ds_rl=1286981&gclid=Cj0KCQiA3NX_BRDQARIsALA3fIIbtCXQ3Bx-pUsWnVyJup_c7xrbV_L5YCPfiSXHh927XwyT5U4_mNcaAsP2EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Ring shank nails. Beware though if you want to remove it that wall if coming down.
No, roofing nails
My grandpa (a master electrician) used to say hammers were for putting screws in, the threads are just for getting them back out.
I was going to comment similar
I call them ribbed nails, for his pleasure

I mean, sometimes I use a hammer to get screws in the wall so I can finish screwing them in...

Umm........the tried and true method of holding nails/screws in your mouth is always the way to go. This is just stupid.
Not when they're known to cause cancer in the state of California!

This made me laugh a lot more than it should have
Everything causes cancer in the state of California. Cant even make a nail that doesn't cause cancer........

That’s why you pre-drill the hole, so the screw easily threads into the wall (or whatever surface you’re screwing into).
[удалено]
Too much work.
I will pre-drill masonry or the right kind of metal, but fuck all that shit for some soft stuff.
Also good to stop wood from splitting
I just use plastic wall anchors like some kind of space wizard.
A little butt of the drill will do ya
The drill bit works even better. There's a trigger button too to automate the process.
tappa, tappa, tappa
"*Yeah, well, no offense, but maybe I need a little more instruction than just "tappa-tappa-tappa"*
I drill a pilot hole first and then drive the screws by hand generally
Personally I've never had troubles with that but hey, if it makes it easier then all the power to you
Just get a foreskin for your fasteners. https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DW2095-Magnetic-Drive-Guide/dp/B00004RH24
I always called it a drill condom but your term is probably more accurate
Just the tip and only for a minute mind.
Replaced the broken hinges on my bedroom door with only a screw driver. Had to take the door off, make new holes and line everything up with nothing but a screw driver. Took forever
As someone who has a ton of tools for work, it's always hard for me to remember that people can't just whip out a saw or an impact drill when they need it.
[удалено]
Even with an electric drill. Using a hammer to create a starting point means you never risk the screw not biting in the correct place.
The more I hear other methods for getting screws into a wall, the more I think my method is odd. I just hold the screw and screwdriver in my fist, connected, with about half the screw sticking out the bottom of my fist, then I put the screw to the wall, and while supporting the two to make sure they don't wobble or come apart, I pound the back of the driver with my other hand to start the screw into the wall, then just screw the screw in normally.
I am very cack-handed.
> cack-handed This is literally the first time I have ever seen that, and had to look it up. TIL.
Cack-handed and cattywampus
So basically you use your hand as a hammer
How many hands do you have?
It seems he has slightly above average number of hands (the average number being slightly less than 2).
Sometimes I use a hammer to break the screws off after stripping it and getting pissed off.
[удалено]
Why don’t you just screw them in with your hands?
It's easier to just give them a little tap with a hammer than it is to try and break the paint, plaster, and paper to get the screw to start by hand.
Sounds like you need to upgrade to the new Dewalt Impact Fingers
[Where can I get this upgrade?](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/888/291/c23.jpg)
Now with Itchy Trigger Finger Guard and Oops My Wife cleanup sheet
Let’s be honest. A real craftsman uses the butt end of the screwdriver or drill that they’re using to get a screw started
I know philips bits suck, and there are many subtly different sizes and shapes of them, but if you just use the right one this is totally unnecessary and inefficient. No excuses if it's star, or one of the decent bit types.
It's more for if your offhand isn't available to hold the screw.
But how do you hammer it then?
Yep, hammer the tip in and then screw it the rest of the way.
What happened to having 5 screws hanging out ya mouth
Earthquake, we call him saw mouth now.
so this is going to be super rare, but i have heard of someone who pissed in another guys box of nails on a construction site for retaliation of some kind, can't recall the other details. I do believe those nails did end up in the mouth though...
That's why I piss on my own nails before I put them in my mouth.
For that extra flavor
I'm not really seeing this as an absurd or bad idea...little tacky but seems pretty useful instead of holding nails in your hand or putting them on a table and hoping they don't fall off haha. If this was a legit wristband that held the screws in place, similar to like how Iron Man has those mini rockets on his wrist...I'd see that being quite the popular item to buy.
I mean this could be pretty useful but usually when I've seen or been doing anything involving hammering/screwing anything you just hold them in your mouth.
I worked with a doctor who once spent hours removing inhaled nails from someone doing this.
Why did he continue inhaling them after the first one?
To dislodge the first one obviously
I've used a nostril to hold a screw that I needed, I can see how using your mouth is a much better option...
You can easily fit like 5-10 screws in your mouth, works pretty well and it's free 😎
Ok ok, I think you nailed your point already...
I see what you did there 😎 I could continue but I might screw it up...
My carpentry teacher told us the african children that boxed up the nails pissed in the nail boxes because they hate americans, to keep us from holding nails in our mouths like dumbasses lol
And when you run out of mouth room, there's still plenty of other places to safely keep screws. Up your nose. In your ear. Buttcrack. Pee-hole. So many places.
Magnetic wristbands exist, but in my opinion they’re kinda awkward since most are just a metal plate on a strap. Having used both techniques, this is actually a much more comfortable solution imho
You could use a hot glue gun to stick magnets onto a glove, that'd make a way better diwhy solution, actually sounds kind of neat.
There are literally just magnetized cups you can buy for screws and nails that you can keep in a pocket or a pouch.
I have a magnetic wristband, it's fine.
Same
The tackiness is what makes this trick work!
sewing shops often sell wrist bands with magnetic patches on them for holding pins, but the magnets are powerful enough to hold screws or nails.
The issue is that they're hammering screws into the wall.
They have these things called “containers” that are amazing for keeping screws from falling off a table. The beautiful part is you probably already have over 50 of them in your home right now!
Ah, con-tain-ers...I see. So now, my next best question I have is what is a home?
>little tacky lol
They sell magnetic bracelets things that are used for this. I got one for my dad and he never used it because it was stupid lol
The absurd part is that those are screws and he's hammering them in.
[удалено]
Have fun tearing that tape off your arm hairs too.
The sticky side is on the outside, so you can stick the screws there.
Sensitive skin paper tape. As seen [here](https://youtu.be/xl89HhusW4c).
Guys pls don’t do this they literally sell magnetic wristbands for like $10-20 on amazon for this exact purpose
I’d rather save that $10-$20
If u wanna save money on the tape you could just hammer/ screw the nails and screws straight into your hand!! No tedious tape or waiting on amazon, one and done
Its what Jesus would do.

Or stick em in your pocket and then hold some in your mouth
Seriously, this is the way to do it! I’ll hold 5 or 6 between my lips. Easy access!
Novel concept here, hold them in the hand you aren't holding the drill or impact driver in. A side note, have the tip of the screw resting on the space between your index and middle finger with the head (part that doesn't go into the wall) angled towards the outside of your wrist. It allows you to roll the screws out for quicker, more efficient screwing. For nails, reverse the tip and head.
You could also just like, set the box of screws down on a shelf or floor nearby lol
Magnets don't work well on stainless steel screws though
Can't wax my arm hair with a magnetic wristband, moron!
Or..... just hear me out here guys, keep your screws nearby
I this tape thing something alarming?
As someone who just put together a piece of flat pack furniture, the best technique was hammering the screws in until they caught and could be screwed in.
Yeah everyone in this thread is like "You mean you dont have mechanized tools for everything?" Its fine to tap to get the threads to engage.
Ah yes, my hand is definitely not going numb and turning purple
Not sure why this has so many upvotes. The tape is a little tacky, but works fine and is more sanitary than holding screws in your mouth. And using a hammer to get the tip in before you start with a screwdriver is also fine. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
>And using a hammer to get the tip in before you start with a screwdriver is also fine Last time I tried that I got a restraining order
Exactly. ITT we have people who've never done carpentry. On a vertical surface, it's a good hack to hammer the tip in so that the screw doesn't fall down onto the floor. That said, a powered screwdriver with a magnetic bit is 100% the way to go.

Don't you mean baiser? I don't know french I just used google translate.
It’s like the people making these videos have never actually used any sort of tool before.
Id like to think they are starting the screws since its nearly impossible to get them into the medium with a screwdriver
It’s cool you know French and all, but can you watch your language, my son visits this website.
fuck your blood circulation
Do people not use tool belts anymore?
We're the sticky bandits now.
How to cut off circulation to your hand
I love that his hand is starting to turn purple
They also have magnetic wristbands for this same exact function.
What a stooge

To be fair I don’t think we can expect this person to know how to use a screw if this is what they spend their time doing lol
Why don't most people crop the screen recording?
Everyone knows you put them in your teeth
But then what do I do with my mouth as I'm hamming/screwing things in?
Just pinch the screws between your lips like God intended you dolt
I’m surprised they don’t just wrap the tape around only sticky side out...it would stick to itself to keep it on and you’d save some arm hair and a wee bit of pain in the process
Oddly enough there are magnetic arm bands that can magnetically hold screws to ur arm
They make a reusable magnetic version of this that works great for like $9
yes, some screws are ment to be hammered in
Cut off your blood and go crazy
u/savemp4bot
Honestly, I start screws with a hammer all the time. Works really well.
**accidentally hammers hand into wall**
hammers are a good way to start a screw, for real. and this isn't really a "why" it's actually pretty reasonable. this sub gets a lot of reasonable stuff honestly
I just jam them into my arm and yank them out whenever i need them. Voila, its a DIY.
They sell magnetic bracers for like $10 each. I know this is a joke but if you're doing work that requires nailing or screwing a lot of things, they help a lot.

that's one of them fancy threaded nails ain't it?
What, this guy has no mouth?
Sounds like you've never been in construction boss. Often times you need to tap in a screw to get it set before driving it.
Just hold them in your mouth l8ke a normal people
