Here are three approaches to chisel protectors that work:
- Free – Bottle caps sliced on edge. See it on LumberJocks
PROS: variety of widths, visible tips
CONS: not very pretty, cumbersome - Custom width edge protectors made with blue painters tape and plasti-dip. See it on Popular Woodworking A variation on this is to use mold-able silicon like Sugru.
PROS: variety of widths, color codeable, secure fitting
CONS: 1 can of Plasti Dip is more than you need for just chisel guards - Purchase the set of plastic ones
PROS: No shop time required, they look good
CONS: You are stuck with the size and shapes in the set. - Use an assortment of vinyl tubing cut to length
PROS: secure, protective
CONS: not pretty, can allow sharp tip to protrude from end of tube or item to enter the tube
