Hook Guards?
« on: December 02, 2010, 01:39:24 PM »
This might seem like a dumb question, but where do you guys get the tubing you use for hook guards? I've done searches and I can't even figure out what the stuff is called. The guys at Lowe's and Home  Depot just look at me like I'm nuts when I ask about it. Considering I've already been to the ER four times to have hooks removed from various appendages, I thought it might be a good idea to start being a little more careful.

Thanks Bill - as usual, it was right under my nose. It's a wonder I can find my way out to the kitchen when I get hungry. :-\

I completely understand. I read something on this page, go to the store to get it, and forget what I drove 20 miles for...

Nah, I'm getting up there myself, and I've never worked hard at anything worthwhile. I don't plan to start either.
