ABSTRACT:
An uncomplicated system of restoring a smoother, non-slip, splinter free gripping surface to a rough tool handle. Thin walled, heat shrinkable tubing is fitted over the rough handle and heated with a common "gun" style household hand-held hair dryer with an auxiliary air concentration nozzle to reduce the diameter of the tubing. The tubing recovers sufficiently to adhere to the outer diameter of the handle. The irregularities of the crevices and bumps on the rough handle present recessions into which the tubing conforms. Due to the thin walled nature of the tubing, the irregularities extend into the wall of the recovered tubing creating a more secure attachment of the tubing to the rough handle and furnishing a comfortable, somewhat textured, splinter free gripping surface for the user.
