I think a more appropriate title would be why a handyman should carry golf Tee's. A carpenter is most of the time building new. Not repairing. You are not going to find any new construction Carpenters with golf tees in their tool box. Now as a repair carpenter/handyman there are numerous reasons to use golf tees. Tho a simple splint of wood wittled down to size works just as well. PS. Another great use of a splint is if a screw has stripped out the hole it's in from a lot of movement over time. Just splint the stripped out hole and drive in a new screw.

Rub some of the lead of your pencil on the end of the striker, close the door, activate the handle a couple times, and it will leave a mark exactly where the plate needs to be.

Also great idea if you need to hammer drill concrete and use a typical screw to mount something. Hammer the tee home and use a wood screw.
