Do-it-yourself ice drifts (ice drifts) from self-tapping screws and rubber

Hello dear readers and the inhabitants of our site!
Winter came, and the topic of ice and ways to individually combat it became very relevant. In this article, the author of the YouTube channel "Alokin AlokinAlokin" will consider one of the options for solving this issue. He will tell you how to make ice drills from screws and rubber. This is the first version of this fixtures. In the following articles I will consider a few more analogues, maybe there are simpler solutions.


You can make this homemade product in home conditions without the use of sophisticated tools.
Materials
- Long wood screws
- Second glue
- Clay moment, or any other universal
- Degreasing fluid (gasoline, white spirit ...)
- Thick coarse cotton thread
- Thick sheet rubber with reinforcement
- Leather strips
- Fasteners, or triangular half rings
- Rubber strips from old bicycle or car cameras.

Instruments, used by the author.
- Screwdriver, thin drill, or awl
- Thick needle "gypsy"
- Pliers or crocodile clip
- Hacksaw
- Sandpaper.

Manufacturing process.
First of all, the author cuts several screws into pieces of suitable length, and all should be threaded. When using such self-tapping screws, as in the photo, it is enough to file it a little with a hacksaw and just break it off.



The next step, the author marked a piece of reinforced rubber, it must be tough, otherwise it will move out of the sole. Then I marked the mounting points for the self-tapping screws, and drilled it with a 2mm drill. The same can be done with a hot nail or awl.



Now you need to attach the cuttings of the screws to the surface of the rubber with a cotton thread.



Such a stitched blank turned out, the author opens a second glue.


It impregnates each loop with a second glue, this will protect the threads from salt and moisture. And you need to do this from two sides.




The author will use a strip from a car camera with a width of 10 mm to fasten a disk with screws to shoes. It should be carefully cleaned with sandpaper or cutting hacksaw blades for metal, be sure to degrease both surfaces with gasoline or analogues. Then apply universal glue (for example, moment or rubber) on both surfaces, let it dry for 10-15 minutes.





Now, after the glue has dried, it is necessary to press both parts together as much as possible. The pressing time is not so important, first of all, maximum effort is required.




To fix the fasteners, the author will use leather strips, they will help increase the strength of the rubber band with the fastener. Glues them using the same technology, pressing them with a crocodile.




Now the author forms and glues the fastening of the back of the ice drifts. It looks like lightweight shoes for women.





Taped joints reinforce with rivets.



And for reliable and convenient fixation of ice drifts, the author suggests using these fasteners. They can be independently bent from galvanized steel wire, or purchased in a store. Alternatively, you can use the "Velcro", slightly changing the way they are attached.



So, here is such a double-sided ice drift disk.


Yes, the clasps can be replaced with such triangular staples.


They will be buttoned so.




So, both parts of the ice drifts are ready, it's time to try them on to the boots.





Yes, the versatility of this product is added by the fact that they can be turned over in the absence of ice, and not look for a package where to hide dirty ice drifts. It will be convenient at the entrance to the building.

The large length of the screws provides greater rigidity and traction.

Thanks to the author for the provided material for consideration! The idea deserves attention!
All a good mood and grip =)

I am a "boy with a slingshot" born in 72
15 years is a quarter of my life, and if you throw the first 7-8 years of the "unconscious", then more! My oldest son, born in 1981 smile
I am born in 1957

Well, sorry, Uncle Korolev! ))))) I am a "boy with a slingshot" born in 72 ))))) 15 years - not Khuhra-Mukhra ...))))

Interestingly, but dichloroethane melts rubber? Right now I'll go check!

Say, rather, about the 70s ... And I - about the 80s ...
Well, yes, in the 80th I graduated from college and got married (it would be better if I entered graduate school, they offered me a fool) ... smile
Well, yes ... Until the 61st .... "Other money" ... But hardly your memories from there ....
Say, rather, about the 70s ... And I - about the 80s ...
I think, or so: pour a little benzine over the sole, drown and dry ...
Mother - pig on the collective farm (180 rubles +)
My memories are a bit ancient, I was born in 1957 smile
And on these, on the top of the side, the inscription "Adam" was stamped in the skin. I now think that perhaps it was some kind of special footwear for some kind of "polar explorers" / climbers / ice drifts ..))))). It was painfully thick leather, rivets in the corners of the "joints", a dense sheared sheepskin, the same on the insole, "super soft" and non-freezing sole (such as porous rubber) We didn’t understand ... And we couldn’t (due to those ways) to believe that overalls can be better, warmer, more reliable than "ordinary clothes"))). And so, that the “overalls” can be more expensive than the usual .... Yes, and beautiful .... This, you see, is in no way! ... Everyone would laugh at such a statement ...
“Cebo” I also remember. There were such ...
Mom’s salary then was already “whole” 87 rubles!

It was better for me ... Mother - a pig on a collective farm (180 rubles +), father - a "coal" fireman at a factory in a neighboring town (310 rubles + (His party card was preserved. There are contributions and salary). And milk in triangular bags for harmfulness)))). Grandfather - I do not know who was listed on the collective farm, but he was a very respected man, and really worked .... as a blacksmith, a builder. mechanic, etc. ("as a consultant-assistant" in difficult cases. I remember the "bobiks" who constantly sent "for Moiseevich, who was called" Bear Master "by the eyes) ... I don’t know how much I made, but I was his beloved grandson, and he gave me for the 14th anniversary of Karpaty-2, for the 16th anniversary of Izh-Orion for more than a thousand ...)))) I competed with my grandmother (a simple collective farmer with a salary of 70-80 rubles ... )))), which gave his brother Riga-11 and Sunrise-3M, respectively ...)))))
It is probably better on the contrary - to warm up the chips and trample on it.
Author
By the way, the method is to melt the rubber and go through the chips. the sand is clearly smoking rags nearby. sorry

It was already dark, and this cat’s face was on my ava before =)
It was still no snow. Although the cat is already far from small - it will observe the 7th winter.
Terribly expensive, already remembered the price - 63 rubles !!! ("The Old Men" will understand))))
I also had Cebo firms, but cheaper, "only" for 40 rubles, my mother’s salary was then as much as "whole" 87 rubles! smile
But how rzhachno paws parted - and a goofy face - I will never forget
It was necessary to shoot and share positive! smile

Yes, my sailor suit also walked yesterday. it reached the fence ... on its claws, and then attempts to jump onto the cinder block fence ended in failure. Figs would be with him, the cat thought and went the other way. through an icy tree, he thought it was more reliable .... in short. after 5 attempts, he pushed himself onto a tree that branches out onto the street. But how rzhachno paws parted - and the dead face, I will never forget. xaxa
And in my childhood (12-13 years old) I bought Czech boots ... (More precisely, high boots. On laces. With a sheepskin inside. Scary expensive, already remembered the price - 63 rubles !!! ("Old people" will understand))) ) So there was an interesting decision - the sole was thick and made of very soft rubber with metal chips embedded in it !!!! Do not slip at all on the ice. (At that time, I even suffered from this - you can’t take a ride on the ice !!!)
The only time I ever met this in my life. Never seen again ...
And then at the production of a thick office cat, they scared with a specialist, having taken him out to the street. Said (his name is) "skidded" with might and main !!!))). Well, he didn’t succeed in starting off)))). After several attempts to put the paws together in a stable position, he turned to us and with such offended facial expressions meowed that we felt ashamed!)))). He clearly thought that it was something we did, that he could not walk ....
Honestly, for the first time in my life I see such ice that the cat skidded !!! )))))
It’s strange even. But we had the same thing the day before yesterday. I left the porch in the morning ... It's raining. (Normal. Not icy. The temperature is positive.) The whole earth shines ... (Is it wet simply?) ... If I hadn’t seen how the neighbor’s legs had parted and how he bent, he would have been exactly the same !!! .. And here was this: A warm air mass came with rain ... And the earth was frozen. And all this shrimp instantly freezes on the ground into a transparent “glass”! There is no way to go at all !!! And I also had to bring the battery into the car. (And I can’t live without it)))). I tried to sit down and drag it along the ground behind me - I was skidding!)))). The only thing that helped - put it on the asphalt, bent over, rested on it with his hands, and like that, “cancer”, seeding with his feet and pushing him in front of him, walked these 10 meters!))))). By six in the morning, however, they had already strewed roads and sidewalks ... But in the yards!))))
They said on TV that in all hospitals all planned operations were canceled, since the emergency rooms were clogged with people with dislocations and fractures ...

Yeah, we have a similar problem in our city, but sprinkled with sand and salt very abundantly, the main thing is to get to the sidewalk from a private house. Today, all the ice has melted, but it has begun to rain. and tomorrow it seems the whole gimp will be anew. yu
Three days ago, I didn’t have enough of such icebreakers when I crawled on the ice on the train. It was freezing rain, but it was necessary to go. I went by train. While crawled, I thought I’ll kill-))))

Here they are parallel to the foot, so they don’t yell secret
and as a child, I screwed the screws in the nose of the shoes, ran around the yard cheerful, but not for long really. He ran and ran himself with his own boot with self-tapping screws in his leg ... It hurt.
