I fixed a bent iPad 2 using a rubber mallet and a short piece of wood on a good flat wooden bench. Hey, I didn't feel like busting out the heat gun and all that nonsense for the glued on touchscreen just for a bent metal frame, so I took a chance.

At worst, the touchscreen might have broke in the process, but that would have only set me back $7 and an extra 45 minutes. But it worked perfectly, flattened out correctly, didn't break anything, and I got to go to lunch like 45 minutes early.

I don't recommend this approach though.

Why would a touch screen have only set you back 7 bucks? Is that how much they cost for phone repair shops?

Working analog clock minute hands after the first minute.

Was only a few years ago I realized that the minute hand is entirely superfluous for most applications. You can easily tell what ten minute interval of the day you are in by looking only at the hour hand.

On a large enough clock, the hour hand could have easily visible marks for not just minutes, but also seconds. If I were an architect or whatever I would try to make that the floor of a lobby or something.

My kitchen must have is an analog clock.

Years of training and using it daily, never wore a watch and don't give a shit what time it is when I am out of the kitchen.
