Grease Tube Keeper - A Hack

[JKBowman]

Here's a little hack. :blush:

I searched the Internets all over for a canister to hold a single, opened tube of grease. For years, I've been using discarded zip tie tube for this. It keeps the inside of my outbox clean. I thought for sure there must be an inexpensive, ready-made solution but if there is, wherever it is, I couldn't find it.

Next, I thought about making something out of PVC pipe. But 2 inch pipe was too small and 3 inch pipe was just too big. I think 2 1/2 inch pipe would have been great, but neither Home Depot or Lowes had it locally.

Then it came to me. What about a spaghetti keeper?

Well, here it is.



This one came from Amazon. I paid $13.99 for a two-pack.

It's a small thing, but I really like it. Just thought I'd share.
