    Question Small power tool covers?

    I have a couple of tools that have no storage space of their own, so they are exposed to the dust of the shop-sharpener, grinder, mortiser, etc. I'd like to cover them up, but don't want to use anything that would promote rust or harbor moisture. Are there any equivalents of the larger tool covers like the ones HTC makes for things like the table saw? Sources? Thanks,
    Tony

    Tony -

    Could you just sew up the neck of an old T shirt. The tools would get ventillation and the dust/grime would be kept off.

    Tony, in addition to the "T" shirt idea, a few have posted good results sewing up covers made from Cotton Bath or Hand Towels.

    Why? Aren't they gonna get dusty when you use them? I know some folks like to cover things, but even if I was a neat freak (and you all know THAT'S not the case!) I wouldn't use a cover. A toaster on the kitchen counter? Sure. But a grinder in a shop? Nope...

    Hey Tony!

    The HTC can be cut to size, It's breathable and you could sew up the ends for some special shapes

    I'm also using some old computer covers to keep the dust off a couple Items
