Did you know I have a Marketplace? 👀 It’s a little corner of the internet where I keep a curated collection of tools I actually use at my bench, and I just added Japanese rubber finger guards to it! 🧡

Four ways I use these tiny orange fingertip heroes:
1️⃣ Sanding small things. When I’m going to town on a marathon sanding session, my fingers say thank you.
2️⃣ Holding a piece at the flex shaft, so my fingers stay out of the danger zone.
3️⃣ Keeping my fingers off patina and flux. Stained fingertips are not a good look for anyone.
4️⃣ Making repetitive gripping jobs way more comfortable.
They’re infused with bits of leather so they last, but they still feel like rubber, and they’re not bulky, so you can still grip small pieces. Make sure they fit snug! I order small (c) and medium (b), and they come in small, medium, and large, in packs of 10 or 50. Shipped directly by @pepetools_usa
⚠️ Quick safety note: I don’t recommend using these, or anything similar like a glove, around a polishing machine. Better safe than sorry.
