Most of us like to think of ourselves as being pretty handy and able to fix things around the house when they’re broken. Well, I don’t, but I’ve heard tell that there are such people out there!
However, not everyone who turns their hand to the art of DIY is exactly an expert…far from it in fact. So, please enjoy these 14+ inventions that put the “Why” in DIY.

These are perfect for anyone who doesn’t currently have back problems but wishes that they did.
How Could You Do This To An Aston Martin?
Look, I could surprisingly live with the color, but those damn rims… Holy hell, they’re something else.
“I wanted to be more popular, so I made myself a fan club.”
Amazingly, when asked if this actually “works,” the person who built it added, “Yes. button visible halfway up handle. 12V fans w. 9V battery, all spin slowly.”
Does It Really?
Well, that is one hell of a unique marketing technique. I’m sure it will appeal to fairy tale wolves everywhere.

Who really needs a fancy electronic fob for their car door? Give me a bit of plywood, a code-activated key drop box, and a classic doorknob any day!
