best way to peel of the top layer of tape, the BEST way to peel the top backing layer off double-sided sticky tape using a utility knife — without damaging the tape underneath! In this quick tip video, I show a simple technique I’ve found works for years now: use a Stanley/utility knife to gently cut under the backing layer, lift it up, and peel it cleanly so the adhesive side stays intact and stuck down. No more struggling to find an edge or ripping the tape!

How to Find a slow Puncture easy and quick - slow leak on a tyre !
Got a slow tyre puncture and not sure where it’s coming from? In this video, I show you how to find a puncture in a tyre easily, even when the tyre is covered in mud.

I first confirm there’s a puncture in my Gator 4x4 off-road tyre, then wash all the mud off to clean the surface. Using a simple soap and water method, I apply a neutral soap mix over the tyre to spot air bubbles, which clearly show the exact location of the tyre leak.

Once the puncture is found, I rinse off all soap residue thoroughly and mark the puncture so it’s easy to identify when taking the tyre to a tyre repair shop for a professional puncture repair.

If you’re trying to locate a tyre leak quickly, this step-by-step puncture detection method is simple, effective, and requires no special tools.

easy way to reload a strimmer with new trimmer line.
This is How to put new string into trimmer, a video of me showing how i reload the strimmer head, to me this feels like the quickest way to reload a strimmer. using a trimmer and adding new line to the trimmer head on this DeWalt 18v string trimmer is really quick and easy (this is my personal DeWalt DCM561 trimmer, this is not sponsored by DeWalt).
Its important to use the manual/instructions for the tool to insure correct installation and correct strimmer line is used as incorrect use could cause damage and harm. always turn appliance off and remove battery before making adjustments or removing/installing accessories, line or attachments.

How to check a cut is square (90°) before cutting timber:

In this video I show a simple way to make sure your cut will be accurate using a set square or a handsaw as a guide. Always check both sides of your square — if the lines don’t match when flipped, your tool may be worn or the timber edge may not be straight.

A quick double-check like this helps avoid inaccurate cuts and keeps your work properly square.

How to Fix a Gravel Board to a Fence | Closeboard Fence Installation Tips to fix gravel board to a fence posts

You’ll see how I fix simple gravel board pickups cut from counter rail, cut roughly to the same size as the gravel board. These pickups are fixed to the wooden fence post first, using an offcut of the gravel board to position them. This ensures the gravel board sits at the correct height i want and for ease of fixing the wooden gravel board to the post.

Once the post is set and concreted, the full-length wooden gravel board can be cut and fixed into place quickly, with no guesswork.

the posts, rails, feather lap, counter baton, capping, pickups ect are all pressure treated wood.
