Hello dear friend, now I will tell you about two ways to use holey and worn out socks. Many people think that holey socks can only be darned or thrown away. But it is possible to reuse them by applying life hacks.

For both handicraftsmen will need long instep socks. And not like some socks, like Czech women. They won't suit us.

First tip

IN In due time I managed to work as a driller's assistant during workover of wells (oil industry). Who knows what kind of work it is, he will understand how hard and very dirty it is. So to protect your hands you need old socks.

For we cut out a sock and put it on the wrist, protecting the sleeve of special clothing and an open area of ​​the skin (wrist) from heavy contamination with dirty oil and oil products. For example, when repairing a car with your own hands. Even digging in the garden can thus protect your wrist from dust. Thus, you do not have to wash the entire overalls just because of dirty sleeves.

Second tip

For in order to use the second tip, we need the upper part of the sock, called the leg. We cut it out from the sock.

The remaining part we pull on the wrist, fold in two. And in the resulting pocket we put a flat magnet, neodymium. It can be obtained from old hard drives. It is advisable to mend this pocket with magnets so that the magnets do not fly out.

On wrist such magnets greatly facilitate work. For example, attaching bits to these magnets or the necessary self-tapping screws when working at height.

I even made a video on this topic:
