Angus MacGyver became a pop culture icon because of his innovative DIY solutions. Fans of the hit TV show would fondly remember how he bypassed a high-tech security door by bending light using an ashtray or defused a bomb using a paper clip. 

Of course, Hollywood tends to exaggerate, and the chances of meeting an actual Macgyver are slim to none. However, many people have a similar mindset of making do with what they have to get themselves out of a jam. 

You will see a lot of these ingenious hacks in the Redneck Engineering subreddit, where people share their clever fixes to some of daily life’s problems. It features photos of makeshift iPad stands, improvised bathtubs, and crafty utensil substitutes. 

Here’s our best-of-all-time list for you to enjoy today. Scroll through and be inspired by all the creativity.
