The real ferrules are sized by tool size, thick brass, have a sharp bevel on the end towards the wood, and these are still available but expensive- I found them on eBay-UK.
If you want inexpensive ferrules for cheap chisel restoration, visit truck hydraulic repair places. They have thin brass ferrules they use on the ends of hoses- dozens of sizes- that work OK. They are inexpensive (sold in boxes of 25 or something), and so you can put ferrules on all your handles, for files, etc. I have even removed cheap plastic handles from old chisels and made snazzy new wood handles with these ferrules- they look great.11 December 2016 at 6:33 pm #143243Hi
I was looking for the same as you on eBay this week and found at least one seller of these. Not sure this will work but the item number copied from the page was 122250917991 otherwise just enter chisel ferrules in the search and it will appear in the list amongst chisels and handles for sale. Price was £12 for 24 split equally between 6 sizes. HTH Andy19 December 2016 at 1:09 am #143483consider using a piece of copper pipe, or fitting. I make many of my turning tools, and copper pipe works great. Tom
