<p>A housing (11) for a pneumatic tool (10) includes a head portion (14), a middle portion (13), and a handle portion (12). A sleeve (17) is disposed over the middle portion of a pneumatic tool with a rear portion of the sleeve spaced from the outer surface (11a) of the housing. A grip (27) made of pliant material, preferably rubber or a synthetic rubber compound encloses the handle portion. The grip includes a front lip (28), and a rear flange (29). Once fully inserted on the handle, the sleeve and the external surface of the housing cooperate to retain the front lip therebetween, preventing the front lip from peeling off the handle portion. An adaptor (35) engages an air inlet (19) at a distal end (23) of the handle portion. The adaptor can include a washer (38) engageable with the air inlet for limiting the depth of insertion of the adaptor in the air inlet and for inhibiting rearward movement of the grip (27).</p> |
