Smart Uses for Tools to Transform DIY Projects

Use a Screwdriver to Lengthen Your Drill

A trip to any hardware store will reveal an overwhelming variety of drills and drill bits, but stocking your toolbox with every shape and size can cost a small fortune. Thankfully, there are practical alternatives when your drill bit falls short. For instance, if you need extra reach, you can use a longer multi-bit screwdriver instead of buying a new drill bit

Simply remove the original drill bit and replace it with the shaft of the screwdriver—most toolkits already have one handy. This clever hack not only saves you money but also maximizes the tools you already own. Why spend more when you can improvise with what’s in your toolbox? Additionally, this method works well for tight spaces where a longer drill bit might be too bulky. So, next time you’re in a pinch, think outside the box and make the most of your existing tools.
