There is also a product that one just dips a tool handle into and it
coats the handle in a rubber-like material.<br>
Keep dipping the tool until the coating is as thick as you like. <br>
I have seen this stuff in many big box stores. It comes in black, orange
and red, if memory serves me correctly.<br>
Update: I did a Google on "tool handle coating" This stuff is available
everywhere: Lowes, Amazon, etc.<br>
Also comes in blue, yellow, and clear colors.<br>

here a while back I was trying to get some cabinet doors finished which I
needed done yesterday...(I sure hope I'm not the only one that that
happens to).
<br>
<br>
So to get them glued up a little faster I decided I needed a few more
clamps. I went to the local box store and what they have available is
the Jorgensen Cabinet Master...fine with me cause that is what I have
and I have never used the Bessy ones, so maybe I don't know any better.
<br>
<br>
As I go to pick up the new clamps I noticed some things have changed...a
new handle style. The older handle style was just a big round wood
handle. Nothing wrong with that but after using the newer style I
thought these new handles are a little better. They are plastic with
rubbery grips and seem to be a little easier to get a good hold on and
turn.
<br>
<br>
I'm thinking to myself that I would like this newer style handle on all
my clamps....should be easy to do....call Jorgenson, order some and then
struggle with putting them on. Old ones are held on with a rivet and
the new ones are maybe epoxied on or something...I should be able to
figure it out. I call Jorgenson and find out they do sell the new
handles, but not just the handles. You have to buy the handle, the acme
screw and the cast jaw all as one unit. I try to explain that I would
just like to buy the handle and maybe they could send me some before
they glue them on, nope.
<br>
<br>
Is it that hard to sell just what you need....I have already bought the
clamps....you think they could help a guy out a little bit.
<br>
<br>
Oh well.
