Gadget Installation

Mounts can be placed on any surface, and can be secured either by drilling in with an electric hand drill or taping with a duct tape . A taped mount may fall off in a collision , whereas the one that’s been drilled in will stay firmly in place. However, drilling can only be done on select surfaces and not on windows, boilers , gauges and such.

Once the mount is in place and secured, a gadget can be attached to it. Gadgets and mounts can be removed using the hammer . Drilled holes can be repaired too, using the filler gun .
