“DIYer RAGE!” Two tool tips to help avoid…
Imagine yourself... on a ladder trying to hold a curtain rod up AND a drill AND your screw AND you DROP THE SCREW!!
Now, you have to figure out what to do with your curtain rod while you get down the ladder and grab your screw again. And if you drop your screw again, "DIYer Rage" might start becoming a VERY REAL emotion.
In order to avoid the fabled "DIYer Rage," don't drop your screws! Not as easy as it sounds, huh? Not really... UNLESS... you have a magnetic drill bit holder! Shown on the left in the picture is a magnetic bit holder, into which you insert your actual drill bit. The magnetism from the bit holder transfers through to hold the screws you're drilling in place === a LOT less dropped screws. You can pick these up from any tool store for as low as $3!
If you want to take it up ANOTHER notch, here's a handy $10 gadget for you--Just a simple magnetic wristband shown on the right. Wrap it around your wrist, load it up with screws, and take the screws off as needed instead of digging through your pockets in tight spots.
DIYing can be stressful enough as it is, make it easier on yourself! The combination of these two little gadgets can take a load of stress off your DIYing and actually make it enjoyable
