How to Protect "Sharp Hand Tools & Pointed Instruments " ?

How many time you grab a tool with sharp edge or sharp point- and you heart your self, or the tool damaged the tool bag .
Its a very simple to protect those sharp tools- or other pointed instrument.

For flat tools with wide edge, such : Scraper, Putty Knives, Drywall tapping knives,Hand saw.
I use a  poster hanging  plastic bar- (available in picture framing store , or decoration supply).
Cut a section, same size of the object you have. and slide it over- Done.
I use a sanding paper to shape the side of the plastic bar edges.  I also cover it with a color electrical tape (the plastic is black- hard to see with more tools).

Taping joint knife with the protector - the sides end  shape for a better look and touch.






For pointed instruments such:  Awl, Drywall saw, Chisel, small Putty Knives, and more.
Use Plastic tubing.-  Buy all the sizes available in short length (1-3 feet) most hardware store carry and sale clear tubing by the foot.   Simply cut a short section for the desire length with extra tube sticking out-  1/2 "  . Done.
Make sure to have the tube tight fit and no lose ,,, its will come out easy.
I tape the end with color electrical tape- for better visibility of the tubing cap (hard to see clear tube).
