A hand tool comprising a head portion, a shaft, and a grip component is provided. The grip component and the shaft form a handle of the hand tool. The grip component is a reverse-molded component formed by: forming the external portion of the grip component by molding a first thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material or thermoplastic urethane (TPU) material into a shell that surrounds a first cavity; after forming the external portion; placing the shaft into the first cavity; and, after the external portion is formed and the shaft is placed into the first cavity, forming the inner portion of the grip component by injecting a second TPE material or TPU material into the first cavity and onto the shaft. The first TPE or TPU material has a first level of hardness, and the second TPE or TPU material has a second level of hardness lower than the first level.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a handle for a hand tool, the handle comprising a body portion and a gripping part that is provided at least partly on the body portion and intended for the user to grip when using the hand tool. In the method of the invention there is first fabricated the gripping part and it is set in a mould cavity, whereafter melt mass is cast into the mould cavity to provide the body portion such that the melt mass flows underneath the gripping part, whereby the gripping part is pressed against the wall of the mould cavity.

A walnut tool hammer handle includes: a hammer handle for connecting a hammer head; a protective sheet installed on a side of the hammer handle close to connecting the hammer head; and prying holes for loosening and tightening screws disposed below the protective sheet and on the hammer handle. The protective sheet is rotatably installed on the side of the hammer handle close to a point where the hammer hand hits, which can use shock resistance and protection properties of the protective sheet to prevent damage to the hammer handle caused by hitting errors, and the prying holes are disposed on the hammer handle to increase practicability of the hammer. Loosening and tightening sheets corresponding to fingers are disposed on a holding part of the hammer handle and are sunken when holding, which makes the fingers have a larger force area, and improves feeling and stability of the holding.

A shovel assembly including: an elongated shaft, wherein the elongated shaft includes a length, a first proximal end, and a second distal end; a handle sub-assembly, wherein the handle sub-assembly is secured to or forms part of the first proximal end of the elongated shaft; a blade implement, wherein the blade implement is secured to or forms part of the second distal end of the elongated shaft; and a blade implement guide member associated with the blade implement, wherein the blade implement guide member enables the removal of snow from uneven surfaces without jarring the operator.

A vibratory handle for use with a surface finishing float, the vibratory handle including a first end having a bore for receiving a first float attachment screw therein for attaching the first end to the finishing float. The vibratory handle further including a second end having an oblong slot for receiving a second float attachment screw therein for attaching the second end to the finishing float such that the first float attachment screw and second float attachment screw are in operative alignment and spaced apart a distance along a surface the float. The vibratory handle also includes a gripping portion extending between the first end and second end.

A transducer attenuates a physiologically damaging vibration by converting vibration energy to fluidization energy. The transducer includes a canister defining a sealed enclosure, a powder contained within the enclosure, and a coupler for vibrationally coupling the canister to the physiologically damaging vibration. When undisturbed, the powder has a settled state occupying less than the entire enclosure of the canister. However, when excited by physiologically damaging vibration, the powder has a fluidized state occupying the entire enclosure of the canister. When agitated by the physiologically damaging vibration via the coupler, the canister transmits vibration energy to the powder contained therein and causes the powder to fluidize, thereby attenuating the physiologically damaging vibration.
