The striking tools have an elongated metal core having a bottom end for contacting a workpiece and an upper end for receiving the impact of a hammer or the like, and a plastic overlay secured around a substantial portion of the c ore, with at least a portion of the upper end of the core extending beyond the plasti c overlay. The plastic overlay includes a grip area and a flange extending a substantial distance outwardly above the grip area so as to protect a user's han d. Preferably, there are several angled ribs spaced radially around the plastic ove rlay, extending from an upper region thereof, and thence downwardly and outwardly to an outer edge of the flange, to aid in deflecting errant hammer blows away from the user's hand.
