You won't believe this genius hack for peeling apples that one dad was caught trying!

If you're anything like us, then you hate wasting time – especially on things that can be easily done more efficiently.

That's why we're always on the lookout for life hacks that can help us work smarter and not harder. After all, time is precious and there are only so many hours in the day!


So, when we came across this video clip of a man peeling apples using a power drill, we were seriously impressed. And if you watch the video below yourself, we think you'll agree.


What a smart dad! Video source: TikTok @alidecosmo.



TikTok user Ali Decosmo (@alidecosmo) shared the short clip to her 7,275 followers late last month and it quickly went viral, garnering over 12 million views. In the footage (which is just 10 seconds long), Decosmo's dad can be seen pressing an apple onto the tip of a power drill before turning it on to rotate at high speed while he holds up a vegetable peeler and deftly skins the fruit at high speed. Amazing!

The actual peeling portion of the clip only lasts for a few seconds but it's still pretty mesmerising to watch nonetheless. Accompanying the footage is the caption: ‘Papa doesn't have time for hand peeling,’ with Ali writing in overlay text: ‘My dad's a genius.’

It turns out, we aren’t the only ones impressed by the kitchen hack, with a range of comments on the video praising the dad for his brilliance. From ‘Real man of genius,’ to ‘ Work smarter not harder. Genius,’ and ‘Power tools make everything better.’ But what really won fans over was the joyous expressions on both dad and mum’s faces at the end of the clip – proving that sometimes it really is 'the simple things' in life that bring us happiness.

Now, we will remind you that power tools don’t necessarily belong in the kitchen (unless you’re renovating, of course) so if you do decide to try out this tip, do proceed with caution and make sure you’re doing it safely! So, will you be giving the power tool apple peeling tip a try?

That idea's been around for years.

But if he used a smaller drill bit he could also core it after peeling.
