What do you do with your small wiper blades??

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

What do you do with your small wiper blades??

So today I was driving around in midtown Anchorage trying to kill some time while waiting to pick up my girlfriend. I was thinking about whether or not I was going to get a call back from the city's street sweeper technician( I will have their bristles! :twisted: ) when I saw the absolutely GIGANTIC Midas that is down in midtown. I don't know why I have called and checked so many smaller shops in town for wiper blades when this golden temple of free junk stood alone in an area of town I frequently visit...go figure huh?
I walked in and told the manager I wanted all his old windshield wipers and he gladly obliged. So I left with about 30 of them. It was a sweet deal. I just got all the blades sorted and roughly cleaned and was wondering what to do with all the thin ones I got. Any recommendations ?

two point tension

you can even make a two point tensor from some of the wishbone mounts above the stiffener. just a little bit of bending and filing.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!

That's a good idea. I would need to temper them since they are so malable. Thanks for the input guys.
