Tech tip: simple and small

i know tech week is over but i though alot of people might already know this one and it wouldn't be worthy of tech week.

if your using electrical tape and are in a tight area that you can't get the whole roll in (even if it's a smaller 3/4 used up roll ) .what i do is to get a small size socket (deep or shallow your choice), make several wraps of tape on it (your socket is now the tape roll) and tape away.

 

I would have never thought of that... good tip...

 

so simple its stupid....great idea

 

That is a good tip.

I usually cut a length and fight the fight . . . along with a few choice words.

A truism: the simplest things are the most difficult....

 

I like it! Thanks!

 

Great tip,I'll be sure to use that one.Also use a razor blade to make a small cut on the side of the roll that way you can tear the tape at the cut without a knife.

 

Great tip man! I'll be sure to use that

 

Great tip. Don't forget liquid eleectrical tape in those tight spots.

 

the great thing about it that your tool box is full of different size spools (sockets).

 

You never stop learning on the H.A.M.B.

 

Great tip.I would of never thought of that one its so simple.

 

That is a very cool tip.

 

I could've used that idea about 3 hours ago !!

 

ive actually taken a pencil and snapped it in half and used it the same way. it works pretty good.

 

Now I've got a reason to keep all those sockets I'll never get around to returning to Sears for replacement.

 

hmmm, now i know what to do with those busted, non-warrantyable sockets!
