Tool Tip #2: Nuts over Tangs

Turned wooden handles are fine for large files and rasps or for those used frequently, but they are quite bulky and what about protecting the tangs of all the other myriad files in your collection?  Wire connectors (wire nuts) make perfect sheaths to save your palm or tool bag from the sharply cut edges.  Wire connectors come in several color-coded sizes.  So it's easy to find one that will tighten snugly over the end of most any file or rasp.
