ABSTRACT:
A tool handle comprises a composite structure including a core member having a molded plastic outer coating over the core member. The molded plastic composite structure has a socket end, an intermediate section and a butt end. The socket end includes a substantially circular outside diameter for insertion into a socket portion of the tool on which the handle fits. The intermediate section is oval-shaped in cross-section along substantially the entire length thereof and has a transition portion connecting the circular socket end to the oval-shaped intermediate cross-section. The oval-shaped cross-section is effective to facilitate handling of the tool when the socket end is inserted into the socket portion of the tool. Particular features of the invention are directed to various specifically shaped core members, socket ends and butt ends. Other specific features of the invention are directed to the manner in which the tool handle is connected in a socket portion of a tool or with a shank portion of a tool. The tool handle of the invention is particularly useful with hand tools such as shovels, spading forks, pitch forks and the like.
