Hey those are cool but they only protect one side of the finger and for me the cuts usually happen in the back of my finger.

Duct tape works wonders.

over the years, I've found that a 1/4" ID automotive fuel line with 1/4" wood dowl pushed thru it, seems to work pretty good on .40 sized engines and is still small enough for 1/2a's
