Furniture Rescue Tool Kit: Safely Separate Over-Tightened or Misassembled Parts.
Accidentally screwing two cat tree posts together incorrectly and not being able to separate them is a common headache with self-assembly furniture. A tool or kit designed for safely disassembling stuck components, especially threaded parts in softer materials, would be a real lifesaver. This could include strap wrenches with high-friction, gentle surfaces, padded vise grips, or specially designed levers. The idea is to help people avoid damaging their furniture during assembly or disassembly, reduce frustration, and cut down on waste. It could be sold directly to consumers or licensed to furniture retailers.
