A tool handle having a core (16) that has a tool engaging end (2), an intermediate section (3), and a grip end (4). One or more rigid molded layers (5) at least partially cover at least the intermediate section. The rigid molded layers include an outermost rigid layer having an undulated outer surface (15). The outermost rigid layer can include a portion that at least partially surrounds the grip end. In one aspect, that portion of the outermost rigid layer that surrounds the intermediate section is undulated and that portion of the outermost rigid layer that surrounds the grip end is free of undulations. The tool handles dampen vibration that is transmitted from the impact end of the tool handle to the grip end that is held by the user. The invention also relates to impact tools having tool handles that dampen vibration before it is transmitted from the head to the grip section of the handle. |
