What is a "Thumb Guard" and why is it SO important? - 5 photos

 This topic might seem like a ridiculous essay, but the thick rubber cover is a 'skin-saver' for me.

 The thumb-pad is a wonderful section of the finger, but when it's injured from having the Onglette graver cut into the skin, this is when major trouble ensues.

 You just can't get any engraving done until it heals and this could take a many days. Those scars will last for literally weeks, or even months.

 The number #14 is the size for my thumb, before you buy yours check the finger size. Those holes on the side, allow air to reach the skin.

These individual costs are minimal, but well worth the few pennies. 

Without our thumb-guards, we would be continually subjected to ongoing pain.

Just look where the underneath area of the Onglette graver is resting?

 Without our thumb being subjected to the non-stop cutting, the skin is now free from any serious damage. The sharp Onglette is similar to a dull razor blade, having it protected by this little important thumb-guard is well worth the buying costs.

Can you imagine the constant laceration that is being done to the skin of this thumb? It takes weeks for the damaged thumb-skin to repair itself. OUCH!

 Never ignore the little notes I've being showing you in this essay. My many thumb-guards can get worn out, but my thumbs are the only two that I have.
