2. New Uses for Old Glove Fingers
Family Handyman
At first glance, those worn-out work gloves look like total trash — torn, grimy, and ready for the bin. But hold up… those sad little glove fingers are hiding one of the most underrated garage hacks ever.
Instead of tossing them, grab a pair of scissors and snip off each finger. Suddenly, you’ve got mini protectors that fit perfectly over chisel tips, screwdriver heads, or any sharp tool you keep in your toolbox. They not only stop blades from dulling or scratching other tools — they also keep your hands safe when you reach inside. And that’s not all: slide them over plier handles to soften the grip and prevent slipping.
