ABSTRACT:
A tool handle includes an elongated body having a cap thereon rotatable with respect to body to facilitate use by reducing friction to the hand of the user upon rotation of the handle carrying a tool, such as a screwdriver. The cap has a projection or flange adapted to engage in snap fit relationship with a locking recess on the exterior of the body to hold the cap on the body. In another embodiment, the body is hollow and has an internal chamber for receiving tools. The rotatable cap has an opening adapted to be closed by a top that is secured to the cap by a live hinge. In a further embodiment, the cap and body are provided with interengaging means which are cammed apart during relative rotation of the cap with respect to the body to enable release of the cap from the body to permit access to the tool or tools in the internal chamber.
