My Friend, Flipper

Right there in your kitchen drawer among the spoons and gravy dipper, you will find a handy new tool -- the flipper -- that’s a great addition to any tool box. When pulling nails with a claw hammer just slide a plastic spatula or flipper under the claw to protect the surface below while you pull to lever the nail out. For screws, cut a small “V” in the plastic spatula and slip it around the base of the screw or fastener to hold it in place while you use a screwdriver or hammer. Spatulas -- they’re not just for cooking anymore. And that's the On The House tip for today.
