Even though most of us lead very different lifestyles, we all use pretty much the same items every day. At the end of the day, it’s all about making life a little easier, right? But that’s not the only thing we have in common. Most of us have remained completely in the dark about some of the hidden uses that these ordinary gadgets, appliances, and objects have that could honestly simplify life and save you tons of time.
The Hole in Pen Caps
Pen caps have a hole on the tip, and it’s not a design flaw. Manufacturers added this feature so that kids wouldn’t choke if they swallowed the cap by mistake. The hole ensures that air will continue to make it to their lungs until the object is safely removed.
A Tape Measure’s Hole
There’s a tiny hole at the end of tape measures that you’ve probably never given a second thought to. But as it turns out, you can hook a nail or screw to the hole so you can measure comfortably without having to worry about the tape measure slipping or snapping back and slapping your hand. Pretty smart, right?
