Description
Move hands away from impact and pinch zones
Finger Saver holds and supports a spanner or similar hand tool while the operator keeps hands farther from the immediate impact, pinch and hot-surface area. Once positioned, it helps maintain control without gripping the working tool directly near the nut or bolt. OHS USA can assist industrial teams across the Americas with length selection, the optional safety lanyard and the official manufacturer guidance.
Suitable applications
- Supporting large spanners and flogging spanners during work on nuts and bolts.
- Impact tasks where hand position near the strike area presents a recognized hazard.
- Work near hot equipment where additional separation from the component is useful.
- Pinch-risk activities where the selected tool can be securely held and released.
- Site procedures that call for a lanyard attached directly to the supported tool.
Choose the appropriate length
Select the model by balancing required separation, access and control. The 295 mm Compact version fits restricted spaces. The 375 mm Short version provides an intermediate reach for general work. The 850 mm Long version offers the greatest listed separation but requires enough room to control the supported tool. The manufacturer also lists a 1000 mm safety lanyard. Confirm that the chosen length does not introduce poor posture or interfere with adjacent equipment.

The manufacturer describes a lightweight main plastic body that is designed not to splinter on impact. Published materials also describe resistance to ozone, atmospheric ageing and many contaminants, including general lubricants. These statements do not remove the requirement to inspect the product after exposure or impact.
Application guidance
Independently support both the Finger Saver and the working tool while positioning the spanner on the nut or bolt. Once secure, move hands to the intended operating position before impact begins. Assess every application because tool shapes, fasteners and access conditions vary. If a lanyard is required, attach it directly to the spanner or supported tool where possible, following the current site procedure.
Safety and use limitations
- Finger Saver is not a lifting device and has no stated safe working load or breaking strain.
- Do not rely on it to carry the unsupported weight of a spanner or other tool.
- Inspect it before every use and dispose of it if impact, pinching or contamination causes significant damage.
- Complete a task-specific risk assessment before using it with another tool or application.
- Maintain all required site safety wear and personal protective equipment.
- The manufacturer says the material is unlikely to directly generate sparks if dropped, but this is not an explosion-proof or hazardous-area certification.

Does Finger Saver absorb hammer vibration?
The manufacturer states that the product absorbs direct shock and vibration from hammer impact while supporting the working tool.
When should the product be discarded?
Remove it from service if it shows significant impact or pinch damage, deterioration or harmful contamination.
Should a safety lanyard be used?
The manufacturer recommends lanyards where possible, attached directly to the spanner or supported tool.
