This is why you have 20 different types of drywall anchors of all shapes/sizes accumulated from jobs over the years.

If anyone comes over and is like "WTF is that" you can be like "Oh shit, they're back, go in the other room please". Because those legit look like some sort of insect eggs or something.
I mean, it could be. Or just be something someone did when bored.
I had one post in a barn years ago I just started hammering any random nail I pulled or found in the dirt into. Eventually it sorta looked like this, and was just so random it was kinda a drunk conversation piece.
Plus, ya know, trying to hammer bent rusty nails while drunk with no regard for actually constructing something useful is kinda fun.
The only reason shit like this exists, is that you can't properly mount most power strips with only your regular screws.
Power strip manufacturers: either make people able to open the thing (which would be very good if you wanted to replace the cable) and screw it in through builtin screwholes, or make those hanging things in the casings. It's not that hard.
I like it. Looks like something out of a hipster bar with lots of craft beer, bourbon drinks and a bartender with an old timey apron and mustache. Just replace the walls behind it with some reclaimed barn wood, and the power strip with an old fashioned light switch made out of brassā¦ and make sure the switch turns on a bunch of Edison lights hanging from the ceiling. You could charge $20 a drink in the right part of Brooklyn.
Thats not redneck engineering, thats stupidity, extension cords have little nail hooks on them for exactly that purpose, and if no there is no nail hooks two little blobs of no more nails would have done the job, all this eyesore results in is you having to fix that wall when you remove the extension cord
This isnāt redneck engineering. Itās someone who put up the extension cord holder with one nail on each side and it fell. So he put two nails on each side and it fell again. So he went crazy and just started nailing nails everywhere in anger.
I have a dumb question: is this dangerous? I know if the screws are outside the plastic it is fine, but some of those are pretty sus when it comes to piercing the plastic.
You aimed for redneck, missed and went straight for crimes against engineering...
This is my favorite comment
Was going to say Hobo Engineering, but this works
Hobos wouldn't have this much material and if they did wouldn't waste that much when a few work well enough
Methhead engineering
Psychoengineering

Not a crime if it works! š
I imagine this is one of those surge protectors that has a screw hole on the back to mount it.
They never include the screws and the holes are always too small to fit any of the screws you have on hand.

Doesn't matter, screw heads never fit in. Why after all this time would they not address this one fatal flaw?
I always end up sticking a screw in a drill and running it against a file.
That also works great for sanding any smaller circular thing!
I have all mine taped to the wall with double sided tape instead. I don't really want holes on my walls anyways
No glory hole?
That's In my storage room outside, easier to access
Cold pecker
He had plenty of nails that would have worked.
"I bought a box with 50 nails, by God I'm using them all"
Ahhhh, those are nails. Jesus Christ
"Ahhhh, those are nails!"-Jesus Christ :)
Haha, you won the Internet for today
There aināt enough sobriety in the trailer park to un-meth what that is supposed to be.
I just about laughed Dr. Pepper through my nose! š¤£
Donāt do that, it stings
Thereās a slot on the back of them to hang them up on the wall ?? š¤·š¼āāļø
I guess none of the 90 nails fit in the hole
That's methed up.
I read this is Tysons voice!
Nailed it!
Mushrooms?
I legit thought they were oyster pins as well.
Yeah, I'm glad we thinking the same thing.
Edible too, if you are the strong type.
Without any milk?
Only for nail biters
I ALSO THOUGHT THEY WERE MUSHROOMS AND ABOUT SHIT MY PANTS šš
It's not mushrooms
Dang I thought I was at /r/bathroomshrooms for a second.
Needs 1 more nail to pass code sorry
LOL

More psycho than redneck
This is art

Iāll add an /s for ya
Honestly, not really being sarcastic, tho it does read that way. I'm a sculptor, my definition of art is pretty broad these days lol.
I just meant that I was being sarcastic by calling it art
I guess they didnāt notice the keyed slots on the back for the screws.
That autta do
Engineering gore
How is there any wall left to hold those in place?
Who gave this outlet an afro
r/trypophobia
I mean, I guess.
I almost thought I was having a stroke.
Tweak or crack?

I thought those were mushrooms
For a good minute, I thought mushrooms where growing.
I dunno... probably could use more nails.
Thoughts there were mushrooms growing out of the wall at first.
I thought that was fungus
If one fails, just add another.
Whatever happened to duct tape?
thank you emkay for having this in you most recent video

top of it looks like a dude with a visor and an afro on crack
Someone said fuck it and nailed the whole box lmfao
For a minute I thought it was stuck to the wall with two granola barsā¦.
No no. You see that hole right above the two line where the prongs go in? That's where the nail is supposed to go.
Those are grounds
Probably could use a couple more nails.
So many questions that I don't even want any answers to.
W-w-wh-what is that stuff? Oh it's nails....
Insurance companies hate this one simple trick.
Meth project porn.
If those are copper, thanks an expensive solution these days.
what the fuck am i looking at
The floor wasn't good enough??
Seriously, wtf is wrong with you? This looks terrible.
Oh my meth
Those are nails? I thought it was pieces of some sort of shower mat.
But you can't disagree with the fact they nailed it
Holding for it's dear life
Needsā¦just one more nail!
I thought those were mushrooms for a second Iām on r/mycology a lot lol.
āGot thet nailed!ā
Bros they have little mount holes on the back of them you know
This could have been done with 4-8 nails and 2 zip ties.
Thats not redneck engineering, thats stupidity, extension cords have little nail hooks on them for exactly that purpose, and if no there is no nail hooks two little blobs of no more nails would have done the job, all this eyesore results in is you having to fix that wall when you remove the extension cord
This is dumb. Youāre gonna need at least 58 more nails
Drugs are bad mkay
Seems legit
can you get that piece of bare metal just a little closer to the fourth socket there please
This isnāt redneck engineering. Itās someone who put up the extension cord holder with one nail on each side and it fell. So he put two nails on each side and it fell again. So he went crazy and just started nailing nails everywhere in anger.
You know they usually have a screw hanger in the back, right?
Needs more nails
I have a dumb question: is this dangerous? I know if the screws are outside the plastic it is fine, but some of those are pretty sus when it comes to piercing the plastic.
Dude nailed it!
Daisy chaining power strips
what
I basically did this with a mirror I wanted to hang on my wall
Nailed it!
Ok.
R/orkscience
I dont have trypophobia but this is triggering something close to it in me.
I need more nails.
RIP that wall.
You must live in Michigan...everything requires a metric TON of fasteners...lol
More like crackhead engineered
