ABSTRACT:
A striking tool has an elongated metal core having a bottom end for contacting a workpiece and an upper end for receiving the impact of a hammer or the like, and a plastic overlay secured around a substantial portion of the core, with at least a portion of the upper end of the core extending beyond the plastic overlay. The plastic overlay includes a grip area and a deflector flange extending a substantial distance outwardly above the grip area so as to protect a user's hand. The deflector flange comprises, in a first embodiment, a first deflector tier and a second deflector tier positioned below the first tier. Preferably, there are several angled ribs spaced radially around the plastic overlay, extending from the first tier, and then downwardly and outwardly to an outer edge of the second tier, to aid in deflecting errant hammer blows away from the user's hand.
