Old drumsticks have many uses. Here's couple of them:
 |
| 1. Stun the fish you catch with an old drumstick |
This was made MacGyver style in the last minute when my friend was picking me up for an ice fishing trip. You need a duct tape, a piece of metal pipe and of course a drumstick, so go and smash one! I'll add a huge hook on the bottom of this stick later, so this will serve me later also as a lifting hook for even bigger catches.

| 2. Vacuum cleaner wheels made from old drumstick |
My vacuum cleaner was broken pretty badly. I was going to throw the whole thing away, because finding the spare parts wasn't an easiest task. But as it is, the solution is always next to you. First I repaired its hose. I opened the hose adapter, shortened the hose a bit with scissors and glued them back together with Extreme Repair glue. Yesterday I replaced old broken plastic wheels with a pieces cut from old Vic Firth drumsticks. These 7A:s were the only models I've in my apartment at the moment. I think model 2A or 2B would be best size for this kind of mod. ;)
So my advice is to save your old drumsticks if possible. You never now when you need them and what for.
