To get a better grip on your wrench, slip a bicycle handle
grip over it. This will cushion your hand and give you
more control. 
If you're having trouble seeing what you're doing while
drilling, attach a tiny flashlight to the top of your
drill. This will give you extra light wherever you aim the
tool. 
If you need a safety cover for a razor blade, try the
bottom of an old matchbook. The blade fits easily inside,
and as a bonus, you can sharpen it on the strike plate on
the back of the matchbook! 
If you need to fill some nail holes and find yourself out
of putty, mix together some cornstarch and water to make a
nice smooth paste. Use that paste to fill your nail holes.
It will work just as well as the putty! You can also use
some gritty toothpaste for a quick fill.
