Hey Pandas, What’s The Most Creative Fix You’ve Done To ‘Improve’ Something?

I should get one (or one of those grabber poles). Last time I drove home from Melbourne (1.5hr trip) I really wanted a can of energy drink but hadn't gotten it before I left. It was just out of reach on the passenger side and I managed to grab the cardboard that was around it but that just pushed it further away.

I've seen these sold now, but when I was a little kid, I magnetized my screwdriver. You just need to rub it one way along a magnet. I also used a styrofoam block to make a record-player speaker that didn't require electricity. but while it worked amazingly, it was of little practical use without a no-electricity turntable. My folks had a rubber gripper for opening bottles that had what functioned as cogs in it, and I tried to use this to on the turntable to connect to a mechanical-clock toy kid, but the turntable angled inwards, so the gripper kept coming off. But it was still fascinating that the clarity of a block of styrofoam was as good as most speakers and far better than cheap earphones.

I feel like a grabber tool would work better than a back scratcher, since a grabber tool can actually pick things up. I got mine at a dollar store years ago.
