If you are constantly dropping screws, tacks, or nails when you are are working on your DIY projects, then you’ll appreciate this hack. According to the book, you can use a raw potato to stick your tacks, nails, and screws in and carry them with you without the danger of dropping or misplacing them while you are working.
Just stick in all your tacks, nails and screws right into the spud and keep it by your side while you work on your projects. If you do not have a raw potato available, then use a hard fruit like an apple to get the job done.
