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.

I am sure but my way when needed is to use the grip from bicycle handle bars.

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

Now, in the old days, when men were men (and a bit stupid!) you weren't considered a real aeromodeller unless your forefinger was a mass of scar tissue!
