Abstract

An lockable storage bag that includes a receptacle bag, sealing apparatus, and at least one hand covering element. The receptacle bag has a bottom, sides, an open top, and at least one hand covering opening. The securing apparatus opens and closes the open top of the hollow receptacle bag. Each at least one hand covering element is disposed on the receptacle bag at a respective hand covering element. Each hand covering element communicates with the respective hand covering opening and extends inwardly therefrom into the hollow receptacle bag. When a work piece is placed in the receptacle bag and the securing apparatus is closed, the work piece is protected from the environment, and when a hand of a user is placed in the at least one hand covering element, the work piece can be manipulated by the hands of the user without being directly contacted by the hands of the user, simultaneously while the hand or hands of the user are protected from the contents of the receptacle bag.
