Take a simple object, one that cant be improved upon (or so you think)
like a coat hanger. How could anyone come up with a brilliant improvement for something so simple ?

Well I recently saw an example. It's a purse.
except its flat, with no clip , latch or zip. It opens and closes by twisting the top against the bottom. It opens to the size and shape of a drinks can, and it's secure

An Umbrella, remove all the metal and wood etc so its just the soft material, sow this to the back of your jacket at the top and pull it over your head when its raining. Ill call it a hood.

Coat hangers are brilliantly useful things, like paper-clips except for bigger jobs.

McGyver style?

McGyver style?

Yep, although I've never seen the programme you refer to. How many men here can honestly say they haven't transformed a coat-hanger into something useful? Or a paper-clip for that matter.

A coat hanger was the only way I could unlock my old Astra when the lock barrel got jammed
