As the saying goes: "Everything ingenious is simple." And this statement also applies to homemade car repair tools. From two ordinary nails and two steel washers, you can make a very simple, but at the same time useful device, which will be useful to many in the process of replacing the brake cylinder.
Car owners who at least once independently changed the brake cylinder know that after the old cylinder is removed, brake fluid starts to flow out of the hose. In order to stop the leakage of brake fluid from the system, it is enough to make a home-made clamp of two nails and two washers.
How to use the tool
We take two ordinary construction nails (as an alternative, you can use nails for attaching slate or dowel nails), put on one washer, then you need to pass the brake fluid hose between the nails, squeeze the nails and put on the second washer.
The result is a simple but reliable clamp that can be done in just a few seconds. If you use such a tool on an ongoing basis, then the washers can be painted so that they can easily be found in a box or box among other hardware.
By the way, this home-made device can also be useful for other purposes - for example, to squeeze polishing paste from a tube. Write in the comments below the video what you think about this homemade product. A useful idea or is it still easier to clamp the hose with a clamp?
