If you ever thought that you made a perfect cut just to
find out that it was a little off, check out your
measuring tape. Sometimes, the metal guide on the tip will
become loose which can throw your measurements off buy a
half inch or so. Before you cut something, check the tape
as well as the measurements. 
How about when sanding a project, you're working along and
the sandpaper rips? You can reinforce a piece of sandpaper
before you start by lining the back with some contact
paper. Just trace the sandpaper and cut out the backing,
then stick it in place. 
Keep a block of paraffin wax on your workbench. If the saw
blades get stuck, screws don't drive in right and drill
bits aren't doing the job, you'll always know where the
wax is for a quick lubricating job and get back to work.
