Handle portions of hand tools are disclosed that enhance gripping properties while simultaneously imparting flexibility and cushioning properties to the tool handle portion to promote a softer, more ergonomic tool handle portion. The handle portion of a hand tool housing is ergonomically configured for normal gripping by a user's hand and wherein the pressure points of contact by at least one predetermined portion of the hand principally contact a relatively soft tactile cushion surface. The handle portion has at least one support structure configured to provide a volume around which the user's hand can grip with the user's thumb, palm and fingers in contact with said volume, wherein the support structure has at least one window located adjacent the predetermined portion, and a cushion structure bonded to the support structure and spanning each window to provide the relatively soft tactile cushion surface.

An AC to DC power supply is disclosed which converts an AC input voltage to a DC output voltage and supplies the DC output voltage to power devices. The power supply includes a transformer for reducing a voltage level of the AC input voltage and an energy storage device in the form of a Bolder battery that has low internal resistance and is capable of generating high power generally instantaneously. The energy storage device enables the power supply to meet high electrical loads that exceed the output of the transformer.
