I love this chisel! Owned one for a decade and it's saved me a LOT of bruises. The previous technique, and the one I still use on non-guard-equipped chisels, is to grab the shank in a pair of slip-joint pliers, and tape or rubberband the pliers shut around it. That's certainly cheaper and at least as protective, but it makes the chisel harder to control. AHHH! I love this chisel! Owned one for a decade and it’s saved me a LOT of bruises.
