Need a blade dust cap?

[PCModulus]

Here's an insanely cheap one that you probably throw away everyday.

Take a lid from a 16.9 oz bottle (usually water), trim the threads out of it with a knife or razor blade and snap on.

Cool idea! I don’t think I’d use one, but very inventive.

Much more elegant than the blue painter’s tape I’ve been using!

Clear plastic disc glued in place.

Greenie got it, just glue a bit of clear plastic to the end. The you can just glue a scrap of the gift wrap you probably used as a diffuser then trim it down.

I typically do not glue my dust caps on my blades. (Got to take it off to use the blade!)

I think the pictures are getting people thinking this if for a blade plug.

It comes from reading books with pictures and no words :mrgreen: Kidding aside, people tend to look at pics vs reading text it seems these days.

What I'm talking about is just gluing a bit of the clear gift wrap to the open end. Then you don't even need a dust cap because your blade is sealed and the one little bit of gift wrap is inconsequential to the operating of your fancy flashlight. It so simple once I did it I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it earlier. I do also have a collection of chair leg caps etc that I've used in the past.
