When I used to guide whitewater, I used cams to anchor boats to cliffs where there were no riverbanks.

Not really all that inventive, but when cragging single pitch routes, I'll slot a nut into a crack and hang my water from that nut.
Best,

I manage an apartment building,one night I was remodeling an apt.and we had the floor torn out.We tried to carry 4x8 sheets of plywood up the stairs ,screw that!Third floor.Well, I just rigged up my wall hauler and made this cool device out of three peices of wood that just slid over the plywood and attached with screws and rigged it with a sling.Took only fifteen minutes to get all that plywood up on the third floor.We have also belayed down lighting rigs in condemned church with no lights by headlamp.I've got alot more but i'll stop here.

I've actually used some gear in cracks when climbing, so if i fell, it would catch me
I also have a mini #4 smiley keyring on my wallet. Except, it sometimes gets snagged in the chairs at school, and when I go to stand up, i get pulled down again.

Recently I had to aid climb across the ceiling of a cement silo. The inplace formwork for the concrete roof was thick galvanised iron with ribs that would accept no. 4 nuts. By using adjustable daiseys and a nut on each of these I could make my way across the ceiling always maintaining at least two points of contact.
Fun job but hard too.

I've used biners to clip bottles to my pack. I keep up with my hoof pick while horseback riding with a piece of cord and a biner. When moving, webbing is great to tie things down in the back of a truck. We used webbing when we went "power sledding" - that is, pulling the guys over ice behind the 4 runner. A small nut makes a great wine bottle opener. My crash pad doubles as a ground pad when I forget my thermorest. Mark uses pitons and biners to guide the direction of his vines as they grow throughout his cabin. I've seen a retired rope weaved into a rug. This is a list with no end.
