A finger saver is used to protect your fingers when working with tools and fasteners. Here's how to use one correctly:
The key to using a finger saver effectively is to always support both the finger saver and the tool simultaneously until it is securely positioned on the nut or bolt. Once the tool is secure, you can move your hand(s) to the handle grip, keeping them away from pinch points and impact zones.
Steps for Using a Finger Saver:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Position the finger saver: Place the finger saver between your fingers and the tool (e.g., wrench, socket). |
| 2 | Support both tool and finger saver: Simultaneously support both the finger saver and the selected tool to ensure they are correctly aligned with the nut/bolt. |
| 3 | Secure the tool: Carefully position the tool onto the nut or bolt. |
| 4 | Remove hands from danger zone: Once the tool is securely positioned, move your hands to the handle, away from potential pinch points and impact zones. |
| 5 | Apply force: Use the tool as intended, knowing your fingers are protected. |
