What's in a handle?

Article Abstract:

Handle design is an important factor in the choice of hand tools since poorly-designed handles can lead to pain or discomfort for the user. Amongst the points to consider are whether the handle picks up grease easily since the muscles of the hand have to work harder to maintain a grip on a slippery surface. The contact between the hand and the handle grip, the length and breadth of the handle and the shape and surface of the handle should also be considered. Correctly-designed tool handles can help users avoid conditions such as Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).
