Screw trick
Challenge: How can I make screwing screws easier on my hands? This seems to be a problem with people who have arthritis.
The Best Result: In the old days people would dip a screw in some kind of oil. This would make it easier to drive a screw in and made it easy to get it back out, but screw doesn’t hold well enough with the oil.
There is an even better solution. Rub the screw on an ordinary bar of soap. Again, this makes driving the screw easy, as well as removal, but it also gives it better holding power than with the oil. The screw will stay put much better. This method has the additional benefit of rustproofing your screw!
Make sure you use bar soap, and not just a liquid detergent.
