He Finds New Uses For Old Tire Lug Nut Wrenches
 ✖  |
I’ve found that old tire lug nut wrenches, which you can find at any salvage yard or auction, can be very handy around my place. I heat the bend with a torch to straighten them out, then use them as picket pins for animals, pry bars, large spikes, drawbar pins, ground markers, and much more. They’re heavy and strong. Handy as a pocket on a shirt.
After I finished wall boarding my house, I had a bunch of leftover pieces. I called the manufacturer and they said it was made up of gypsum, regular paper, and .003 percent captan, which is a commercial fungicide used in edible crops. So I laid the pieces down between rows in my garden. Made it easier to work the rows without tracking mud, and the next spring I tilled the deteriorated gypsum board into the soil, which was great to balance out the ph. I picked up more scrap wall board for the next year. (Paul Miller, Gardiner, Mont.; paul.j.miller69@gmail.com).
