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. ---

> [@Pinkie\_Pie](#): > > 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 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. A yo-yo is also good as a paper weight. 🙂 [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/improvising/53737.md?page=2)
