ABSTRACT:
A process for manufacturing a hand tool includes the steps of assembling a tool handle to a molded composite handle adapter to form a tool handle assembly, and attaching the assembly to a tool head utilizing removable fasteners. The tool handle assembly is formed by utilizing a portion of the tool handle as an insert in the mold for the handle adapter. A handle receiving socket is formed during the molding process around the inserted end of the tool handle shaft, to securely fasten the tool handle to the handle adapter. The handle adapter has an enlarged base that is seated on a platform of the tool head. Threaded fasteners, such as machine screws, are received within the handle adapter and locked in place to attach a tool handle assembly to the tool head. A shim may be disposed between the tool head and the handle adapter to facilitate use of the tool handle assembly with a number of different tool heads.
