Disclosed herein is a grip comprising an internal bore with an opening having an internal tapered edge. The grip can engage with a tool or a piece of sports equipment. Further disclosed herein is a method of installing a grip onto a tool or piece of sports equipment, including providing a grip having a tubular body; grinding an open first end of the body, wherein the open first end comprises a greatest diameter closest to the exterior of the bore and tapers internally at an angle towards the interior of the bore; providing a shaft or handle; applying an adhesive to a top portion of the handle; sliding the handle into the grip bore until the shaft contacts the a capped second end of the grip; and coupling a surface of the bore to the handle by allowing the adhesive to dry.

A pattern knife assembly includes: a blade portion formed by forging and having a rear end integrally formed with a connecting sleeve, and a sheathing hole formed at a rear end of the connecting sleeve; and a tang portion formed by a casting or cutting process and having a tang hidden in a handle and integrally formed with a connector at the front end of the tang. The connector of the tang portion is inserted into the sheathing hole of the connecting sleeve of the blade portion and the connecting sleeve is welded to the connector, so that the connecting sleeve covers the connector and is exposed from the front end of the connecting sleeve to achieve the effects of combining the blade with the tang securely, providing a manufacturing process suitable for mass production, and showing the grain of the pattern steel in the exposed steel portion.

A hand tool assembly generally comprising a handle and a tool head combined by a connector. The handle has a first end and a second end. The connector has a first end and a second end. The first end of the connector is combined with the second end of the handle. The second end of the connector is combined with the head of a tool by inserting the connector into a socket/opening in the tool's head. The second end of the connector is flexible thereby allowing it to conform to the shape of the socket regardless of whether the socket is straight or curved. A rigid tube insert is positioned a short distance into the handle second end and extends a short distance outward from the handle second end. Adhesives, fasteners, internal hooks, or other commonly known methods of securing an object within an outer sheath or covering may be used to help secure the components together.

A hand tool (100, 200, 300) includes a working head (102), a handle (104) connected to the working head (102), and a handle protector (110, 302, 502) attached to the handle (104) proximate the working head (102). The handle protector (110, 302, 502) is manufactured from a metal sheet. Further, at least one portion of the handle protector (110, 302, 502) extends into the handle (104) to facilitate attachment of the handle protector (110, 302, 502) to the handle (104).

A massage gun and a massage gun extension arm having a handle end that can extend through a first bend and further extend to terminate at an attachment end. Various attachment mechanisms may be used to connect the massage gun extension arm to the massage gun, or to a separate massage tool. The massage gun extension arm can include a telescoping adjustment along the portion between the bend and the handle end, or between the bend and the attachment end. In some embodiments, the arm, between the bend and the handle end, can include a disconnection, the disconnection being in the form of a pivoting bend or in a complete disconnection of parts. This disconnection allows for ease of transport, with the massage gun extension arm stored and carried in a relatively small footprint.
