Summary

The Harbor Freight flush cutter is a sturdy and cheap tool. The only downside for me has been the inability to lock it in the closed position in my toolbag, leaving sharp tips exposed and taking up excessive room. I designed and printed this restraining cover using PETG, but anything would have worked. The cover is retained by the spring loaded jaw opening force.
