[A/S] Coathangers alternative



Here is a handy tip as an alternative for a coat hanger.
Find an old screwdriver at a garage sale that has had the tip damaged. It
may cost you 5-10 cents. You want one with a thin shank about 6 inches long.
Use a grinder to taper the end a point and then grind off the point. Put it
in a vise and add a 70 degree bend about 11/2 inches from the point. You now
have a great little tool for cleaning out grooves. You could do the same
with an old awl. Just grind off the tip so that your don't gouge anything
and make the problem worse.
