ABSTRACT:
A lightweight handle accessory particularly adapted to be mounted on the generally straight shaft of a work tool or other working or sporting implements, having a clamping portion partially surrounding the shaft or other surface to be gripped which cooperates with a flexible fastening means of variable diameter to frictionally engage the shaft and fixedly mount the handle accessory. A handle is mounted near the outward end of opposing lever arms to enable the operator to grip the assembly. The underside of the gripping portion is serrated and divided into mirror images with a central slot which allows flexing of the gripping portion to adapt to a wide variety of mounting surface sizes and tapers. The flexible fastening means may be easily disengaged from one shaft or implement and remounted on another differently sized shaft or implement without loss of holding power.
