Tube hook protectors
 
Anyone know where I can get some of the tube hook point protectors some plugs come with? I tried searching on eBay but came up with nothing. I don't even know what to call them.

Or maybe you have the specs on the tube so I can just buy some of that?

Thanks,
rebaalk

Yep, was just giving him an example.

Mac is on par with the McMaster Carr catalogue.
If its not in there, then it dosen't exist.

Okay thanks everybody.

But the dang search on eBay... if you say "hook protectors" you get nothing but those treble things. You say "hook protector" you get the tubes I was looking for. What a difference an s makes. Some days you can't win.

Try "vinyl tubing" in your search.
