The article recounts a personal experience of dealing with a flat tire caused by a rogue nail from a DIY project. The author shares how a $12 magnetic wristband transformed their approach to home improvement. This wristband helps keep screws and small pieces organized, especially during ladder work, preventing drops and enhancing project efficiency. Since using the wristband, the author has successfully avoided future mishaps and completed tasks quicker, highlighting its usefulness for DIY enthusiasts.
A flat tire might seem a bit off-topic for Apartment Therapy, but the nail was actually the result of a DIY project I had done in my garage.
Thanks to a clever $12 magnetic wristband for screws and small pieces, I now swear by it, and I'd highly recommend it to any serial DIYer like myself.
The wristband is also my go-to for any projects that require a ladder, like hanging curtains and hooks. You don't have to worry about dropping any tiny parts.
I'm proud to say I have not had a nail in my tire since - and it's made my projects quicker and more efficient, to boot.
