8. Use Tape for Perfect Hole Placement

Hanging items with pre-drilled holes can be tricky, especially when alignment is crucial. To simplify the process, stick adhesive tape over the back of the item and mark the holes on the tape. Then, place the tape on the wall where you want to hang it, ensuring it’s level. Drill directly through the marks on the tape for perfectly aligned holes every time.
9. Shield Yourself from Dirt
Drilling into the ceiling can be messy, with dust and debris falling directly onto your face and eyes. To avoid this, cut the neck off a plastic bottle or use a disposable plastic cup. Hold it above the drill as you work, and it will catch the falling dust, keeping your face clean and your workspace tidy. It’s a simple yet effective way to stay safe and mess-free.
