How to make a Safety pin out of just a paper clip.
You will need:
One paper clip
One pair of needle nose pliers. NOT NEEDED but helpful If they are available.
This can be done in less than a minute.
Now before you say it:
You may think this is useless, when will i ever need to know this crap. But who knows when it could save the day.
If that is the basis of your comment, dont bother.
Take this famous example
Quote: Buzz Aldrin accidentally knocked off the ascent engine’s arming circuit breaker, which would have prevented them from taking off again.
But the resourceful pilot fixed the switch - with a biro, which he jammed into the switch to make it work, and the mission continued successfully.
This is incredibly simple but could be incredibly useful.
Take your paper clip:
Straighten it out and bend it at the middle bend like so:
Bend the longer end 0.5-1Cm to about 25-35 Degrees as shown:
Bend 1Cm after the previous bend at about 80-100 Degrees like this:
And there you have it: a very easy-to-make safety pin that could be so useful someday.
again if you think this is useless, i dont care and nobody else cares. dont bother letting us know, just keep it to your self and leave. |

Chances are, I’ll never use this. But then again, I’ll probably never get a chance to make a land mine out a trash can, nitric acid, and ammonia. That doesn’t make it any less awsome. 4stars |

Bend out both legs into a four-sided diamond shape, move the open end apart, making a spring, and you have a jumping frog. Put the ends of its legs together, drop it on the table, and it will pop open and jump. |

5* you can also use wire cutters to make the end pointy to pierce through fabric and whatnot |
