Abstract
A power tool with a gel gripping member has a base with a desired configuration. The base has a desired structural rigidity such that when force is exerted on the base, the base substantially prohibits deflection. A flexible layer covers the base. The flexible layer has a mating configuration slightly larger than the base to form a pocket. A gel material is positioned into the pocket to provide resilient characteristics. A mechanism on the base enables the gel gripping member to be secured with the housing of the power tool.
