Have you guys every used a yoyo for something other than yoyo-ing? I used my string as an improvised belt today and I’m wondering if anyone else did something similar.
I had to use a used string to hold up some cardboard being used to block a vent due to how a house was built(apparently by the mentally deficient) after an AC unit was installed.
Used a YYF multi-tool to remove a set screw that was preventing a stairway handrail for a stage from being stable.
I’m using some yoyo strings right now with some gentle heat and some steel plates to straighten out some plastic legs on some action figures I have. It takes months to do these corrections because I have to use super low heat over long periods of time to first unbend the plastic, but like with braces, put a new memory in it so it will hold better, at least until they warp again due to poor storage.
I used my yoyo string to hold down the shades in my honors bio/chem class cuz the spring in it was broken (horrible and awesome class all at once btw).
I sometimes stick a yo-yo in the handle of the gas pump, so I don’t have to stand there and pump gas. Works like a charm. I pump gas a lot. Keep a beater throw in the glove box.
Disclaimer…Don’t try that at home. It’s lazy! >:( But, it is what it is.
