Rubber grips for hand tools
(OP)
I am looking for a type of foam-rubber sleeve for hand tools that will provide grip assistance and lessen mechanical contact stress for my workers. Does anyone know where I can find these?
Thanks,

A distributor is Maddak Inc. 937-628-7600
Catalog #0699 page 81 Closed cell tubing and a Dyna Form-It Putty that shapes to the users grip and sets hard.
may be an unusual source, but it's outside the box.
Good Luck

We have tried numerous examples of the add-on tapes, padding, rubber, etc. and have found none to be as useful as the above. I currently have about 100 operators using the gloves and 250 using the foam sleeves.
Just as an aside, the most important factor in finding an antivibration padding has been operator acceptance. It's just one of the psychological problems they forgot to mention in school!
Good luck finding the right solution for you.

The type we bought were known by the commercial name of "Shockstops" and the solution was positive.
