Abstract
A method of applying a flexible cover to a handle by placing the cover on a mandrel like apparatus, rolling the cover into a toroidal shape and expanding the circumferential dimension of the toroidally shaped cover. Once the circumferential dimension of the toroidally shaped cover is increased, the handle is adjacently placed next to the toroidally shaped cover. The cover is then unrolled onto a preselected area of the handle.
