Do you still use wire coat hangers?

    I generally don't use them for hanging clothes, but I do like to keep a few around because the wire has hundreds of household uses.

    One time, my father patched a hole in our car's muffler by covering it with a panel cut out of a paint thinner can, secured by aircraft-grade high temperature silicone and coat hanger wire.

  • I use wire and plastic ones. I also use those "clampy clip" ones you get when you buy pants.

  • I so agree. Don't forget waiting 2 hours for AAA to unlock your car or reaching for one of those little suckers

  • Dammit you beat me to it!  I was going to reply along those lines but thought it "might" be in bad taste.  Ah well, at least I know I have company.

    Yes, I still have a few of them in the house. One of my former neighbours used to use one as a car aerial, but I think she's got a new car now. I haven't seen the car with the gweek on it for a few years now.

    PS a gweek is a car aerial made out of an old wire coathanger, in case you didn't know.

  • Smart,. Shirts get pointy soulders & rust stains and heavy things like coats break them and end up on the bottom of the closet.

    Mommie Dearest, oh my.

    I no longer hang clothes on them, but keep them around as they come in handy for many things.
