I recently found this on eBay and bought it.

I have been looking for something like that for a while. The insulating sockets I found cost so much (in hundreds ) it is not funny. The one I made by shaping a softened by heating body of a ball pen after a suitable size nut, is not that good, works on those trimmers that are freely rotated, not on those that need some effort.

This guy's idea is pretty ingenious and well executed. And for $13 and free shipping I think it cant be beat.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
