Coat Hanger Bits Align Screw Holes

Ever have trouble lining up the screw holes when reassembling project pieces? Here’s a simple solution: cut some straight pieces from a metal coat hanger and insert them into the screw holes as guides for aligning the adjacent parts. Pull them out, one at a time, as you install the screws. Then be sure to save them for future projects.
