HAMMER HEAD AND HANDLE ASSEMBLY Abstract A hammer or other hand tool (10) has a head (18) to which is attached a handle (20). The handle (20) has a plurality of spring steel rods (102) extending substantially the length of the handle (20) and extending into the head (18) where the rods (102) are affixed by a plate (106). Spacer plates (110) with holes are positioned at spaced locations along the rods (102). The rods (102) and spacer plates (110) are encased in a rubber material that forms the outer surface of the handle (20). The rods (102) and spacer plates (110) at the end of the handle (20) form a reinforced lanyard hole (30). A collar (22) is formed on the handle (20) adjacent the head (18). The head (18) of the hammer (10) has angled deflecting pads (76, 78, 80, 82) adjacent the striking faces (72, 74). A raised rim (92) on the head (18) opposite the handle (20) forms a stand surface to enable the barrel shaped head (18) to stand with the handle (20) projecting upwardly.
