Here and there you’ll see concepts that although look amazing, they still seem unrealistic. Here are 5 simple designs that will have you saying, “I wish i had thought of that.”
1. Foot Dustpan
Everyone who’s dusted knows that there’s no easy way of doing it. You’re either straining your back trying to hold the dustpan down, or you trying to sweep dust into a moving dustpan. Well here is an incredibly simple design by Mathias Lange that saves your back, and makes your life much easier.
2. Nail Assist
Some people just can’t hammer a nail if their life depended on it. It’s especially frustrating when you’ve got a very important project and before you know it you’ve got to take out bent nails, and try to patch the holes that your bent nails were supposed to go. All you have to do is insert the nail inside the guide tube. Position the tube where you want the nail to be. The large top makes it much easier to manage a hammer slamming down on it. It also protects your precious and very useful fingers.
3. Dog bowl and placement all in one
A classic example of a brilliant simple design. A placemat that suctions itself to the dog bowl so nothing will ever spill, and the dog bowl will never get moved across the kitchen. The molded shape creates a suction keeping it from slipping while lifting the bowl high enough for doggie to eat.
4. Roundup – Hose Wheel
This all-in-one unit allows the user to unroll and rewind the garden hose without having to pull or touch the hose. The Hose Wheel moves to where your focus is so you’ll never have to deal with tangles lines, or dirty hands. The short hose feature allows the user to reach the distance of a seventy-five foot garden hose while only having to deal with six. Though the concept shows a shorter length of hose being used, longer lengths could be used to suit the needs and wants of the user.
5. Magneto Shelves
Everyone knows what a magnet is, but not many people have heard of magnetic shelves. These shelves contain between one and three neodymium magnets, which are very powerful and allow for a strong connection to your fridge or whiteboard.

I see pinched fingers with the nail assist. How many people are going to hold on to the upper part? They’ll only do it once! Ready, swing, pinch! If you wanted to improve the gizzmo, put a rubber grip on the clear tube. People would instinctivly
place their hands in the safer spot.

You still have to stoop to put down the dustpan and to pick it up! Think of how much time is wasted to set the nail up in that thingy. People should test their inventions out before marketing them – it would help them to see why such contraptions have never been invented; not because no one ever thought of them, but because no one ever needed them.
The hose cart could be useful, but it could also be a royal pain.

The hose roller ain’t gonna work after you get water in it! Or if it’s cold, the hose will not respond in the manner you think! Nice try, though!
