Abstract
On a sleeve for a gardening tool, for example a quick coupling (12), surface parts of a flexible, soft and grip-promoting material (24) are provided in differing individual sections. These are applied in a two-component injection molding method and may also comprise special bump rims (27). By a differing color design and alternating exposure of the surface of the two composite materials of base body (17) and additional element (24) lettering, marking or configuring the surface may be achieved.
