Plastic Zip-lock bags hold everything from soup to nuts. In the workshop, it's bolts and nuts. They're great for electronics, too -- cell phones, remotes and calculators are just a few. These handy bags now come in many shapes and sizes -- from smaller snack bags (ideal for protecting cell phones from grease or paint when working around the house and for avoiding water damage when lounging around the pool or washing the car) to medium-size sandwich bags (to protect a calculator from grease, sawdust or moisture in the shop or out on a job site) to quart- and gallon bags (for the handsets of cordless phones). If you think about it, lots of things could use a little extra protection -- like TV remotes (when used by kids eating pizza). The best part? With all electronics, you can see numbers and push buttons. You can hear and be heard clearly without opening the bags. They work for cameras and picture-taking, too. And that's the On The House Tip for today.
