Tip of the Day



Dust-free Storage

Wall-mounted peg-board is ideal for storing tools. It's great for organizing other things, too, such as safety gear, including goggles, dust masks and respirators. Or small hand-held electronic gadgets like a stud- finder, multimeter, voltage tester or a calculator. Even fresh batteries and other various small tools and parts that you need or use often can be organized using peg-board. To keep such things dirt-, dust- and moisture-free, seal them in plastic food-storage bags, and then put a metal spring-binder clip (from the stationery store) on the top edge of the bags. Then, hang them from a handy peg-board hook. They'll be easy to reach when you need them and you'll be able to see what's inside. Because it's sealed airtight, whatever you store will remain clean and dust-free. And that's the On The House tip for today.
