Most do it yourselfer’s like to buy furniture and many times you have to assemble it. Manufacturers often give you tools to assemble a specific piece of furniture but when inevitably that piece of furniture becomes loose or wobbles, you know you need to tighten it, but she can’t remember where you put the tool.

Here’s a neat little trick on where to store that tool. Take the piece of furniture like the stool here, and tape the wrench that came with the furniture you assembled and tape it to the underside of the seat, or some other inconspicuous place that way when it’s time to pick grandma off the floor and actually fix the broken piece of furniture, you’ll have the tool right at hand, and you’ll be able to tighten the nut or bolt within a couple of seconds.

This is a neat little trick and will save you from having to search around the 20 or 30 different wrenches that you got from putting together ready to assemble furniture in your toolbox!
