I literally just did this earlier today, best feeling ever!
The knob on my toaster oven broke last year and I just assumed I couldn’t buy a replacement and never even checked. Been using a flathead screwdriver for a year and suddenly today, inspiration struck and I fixed it in a few minutes with a cheapo wall hanger hook and some SteelStik epoxy FTW! 👩🏼‍🏭
