Cushioned tool pegs

Did you happen to get some brand new tools for Christmas? Whether for a cordless power something or a simple tool or level, screws make ideal pegs for hanging tools on the wall. You can make these pegs even better with vinyl slip-on cushioned protectors. First purchase some 3/16-inch clear vinyl tubing; then cut it into 1-inch pieces and twist them onto some 2-inch drywall or deck screws; then, wherever you need wall pegs, drive them in until the vinyl tube both contacts the wall and rides snugly up against the tapered head (so it flares just a little bit at the leading edge). The result: neat-looking cushioned pegs to hang both power and hand tools. They'll make your workshop an enviable model of organization. But why stop there? Do-it-yourself cushioned pegs work well anywhere. Take a look around the house, and put any leftover screws and tubing to good use. And that's the On The House Tip for today.
