MacGyver Challenge: Hack Something With an Altoids Tin

MacGyver Challenge: Hack Something With an Altoids TinHello, fellow Lifehackers! Time for another MacGyver Challenge. What's a MacGyver Challenge, you ask? Simple. We give you an object and you show us what cool things you can do with it. Our editors pick the best submissions and our favorite will win an autographed copy of the Lifehacker book!

Ready? You bet your mullet you are.

This Week's MacGyver Challenge: Hack Something With an Altoids Tin

The Altoids tin?that humble little box of minty hackability. You can turn it into a first aid kit, a minitature grill, a DIY toolkit, and even a catapult for laying siege to your lilliputian foes. We've shown you ours?now, show us yours. Share your best hack using an Altoids tin. Your hack can use other materials, of course, but the Altoids tin should be the defining element. Send us pictures and a description of your hack and feel free to annotate your photos if you need to. And don't be afraid to get creative!
