An ergonomic handle for a manually applied tool is provided. The handle includes at least one concave or convex grip lengths, and preferably two curved grip lengths. The curved grip lengths reduce slippage of a user's hands along the elongate shaft and provide opportunities to adjust the user's hands and thereby reduce the incidence of repetitive stress damage. The grip lengths are spaced closer to a shovel blade or a pitch fork fixture, and further away from a hoe blade or a rake head head. The user may thus stand more upright when raking or hoeing and conversely apply more physical power when shoveling or forking material. The grip lengths may be retrofittable onto handles having an elongated shaft. The ergonomic handle may be detachabley attachable to tool fixtures.
