Abstract
A power hand tool body has a barrel with a depending skirt portion from which depends an elongated handle. Elongated grooves are formed in opposite sides of the skirt portion and extend between forward and rearward ends thereof, the grooves being part-cylindrical in transverse cross-section and having rectangular cross-section neck portions opening at the sides of the skirt. A hollow tubular grip formed of flexible and resiliently stretchable material has an end portion with part-cylindrical attachment members extending laterally and inwardly from opposite sides thereof so that, when the grip is slipped over the handle, the end portion may be stretched to insert the attachment members respectively into ends of the grooves for retaining the grip in place.
