What do you need to build this invention?

The materials used are very accessible and you probably already have them at home:

• 1 straight piece of wood (serves as a base structure)
• Soda can hooks (minimum 6 units)
• 1 manual or electric drill
• 1 metal hanger hook
• Electrical cables with plug
• Small screws or nails
• Electrical tape
• A small electric motor (optional, depending on the function you want to add)
• Strong glue or hot glue gun

How do you assemble it?

1. Prepare the base.
   Cut the wood straight to a comfortable size (approximately 30 cm) and sand the edges well to avoid splinters.
2. Attach the can hooks.
   Use the hole punch to make small, evenly spaced holes along the wood. Insert the can hooks, bending them carefully if necessary to secure them. These hooks will function as multi-hooks for hanging items, cables, keys, or small tools.
3. Add the hanger hook.
   At one end of the wood, install the metal hanger hook. It can serve as the main hanger or even to hold the entire invention on a wall or behind a door.
4. Electrical installation (optional)
   If you wish to add an electrical function, such as a small light or charger, connect the wiring using a repurposed plug. Be sure to use electrical tape to protect the connections and prevent any hazards.
5. Fastening and Finishing:
   Reinforce the joints with screws or glue, and test that each hook can support light weight without bending. You can paint or varnish the wood for a neater and more durable finish.

What is this invention used for?

Depending on how it is assembled and the accessories added, it can have multiple functions:

• Cable organizer, small tools or keys
• Improvised charger with a base to support the cell phone
• Kitchen rack for lightweight utensils
• Multifunctional clothes rack for small spaces
• Charging station with built-in plug
• Desktop stand with lighting options if a spotlight is integrated

Tips to improve its functionality:

• Use recycled wood, but make sure it is in good condition.
• Secure the metal hooks with small nuts if they are going to hold more weight.
• If you’re going to use it as a charging station, it includes a flat base with a raised edge to prevent the phone from slipping.

• You can add a switch between the wiring for added security.
• Attach a small magnet if you want it to hold metal objects like scissors or screwdrivers.

A simple solution that proves inventiveness still has a very important place in our daily lives!
