Windshield Wipers - Greg_imp - 06-09-2014
The great thing about windshield wipers is the thin steel stiffening strips embedded in the rubber. Whether you buy replacement inserts to save a few bucks or just get the entire wiper assembly, keep the hardened steel strips; they're great to have around the garage.
So far I've used them:
To remove handlebar grips: Smooth one end with a file, grab the strip with pliers and shove it under the grip. Lift up and spray WD-40 in the opening, then using pliers work your way around the bar. 30 seconds later you'll be done.
Suspend parts for spray painting.
Pull a rag through new, lower handlebars to remove chips and oil after drilling index holes for controls.
Hold a siphon tube straight by inserting a strip into the tube and crimping the end to keep it there. The $5 siphon from Harbor Freight wanted to curl up inside the tank and not stay down in the liquid.
As brushes in my daughter's electric motor project for physics class.

So, does she know about the right hand rule? And the Left hand rule. Nowadays it looks like you are throwing gang signs when you show someone.

Yep,

What is the right-hand rule?
Wire hangars also will work for most of these, if you happen to wear the kind of clothes that need to go to the cleaners a lot (I don't, any more, thank goodness).
