A coated plier hand tool with a fixed loop provided in a handle grip to promote security of the tool via tether to a work belt, work vest, work bag or similar receiving article, and methods for fabricating such tool.

In an example, a hammer head may include a cavity, a receptacle channel connected to the cavity, a first wedge, and a second wedge. The receptacle channel may have a first receptacle end that may be proximate and/or open to the cavity. The receptacle channel may be configured to receive a handle and a receptacle cross-section of the receptacle channel may have an elliptic shape. The first wedge may be disposed in the receptacle channel and may have a first upper portion that may be proximate to the cavity. The first wedge may be disposed on an end of a major axis of the receptacle cross-section. The second wedge may be disposed in the receptacle channel and may be opposite the first wedge. The second wedge may have a second upper portion that may be proximate to the cavity and may be disposed on an end of the major axis.

A metal hand tool including a handle attached to a blade piece and method of construction. The blade piece includes a blade opposite an elongated tang. The handle is made up of two, welded, symmetrical handle halves, each handle half having an opening for receiving a hang hole piece and a notched distal end for forming a handle opening to receive the blade piece elongated tang. In an embodiment, the handle includes a curved distal end accommodating a curved welded connection between the blade piece and the handle. The hand tool further includes a hang hole piece configured for placement through the hang hole openings in the handle and for welded connection to the handle. In an embodiment, the elongated tang includes a hang hole opening through which the hang hole extends. Some embodiments further include one or more tang guide pieces welded to the interior of the handle.
