A device is provided for use in installing a resilient replacement hand grip onto the handle portion of a manual implement particularly such as a baseball or softball bat after a worn grip has been removed. The installation device comprises a circular array of elongated leaf-type guide springs suspended from an upper platform to define a cylindrical column for supporting a sleeve-shaped replacement hand grip in a partially radially expanded condition. The knob end of the bat adjacent the handle portion is inserted downwardly through a central opening in the upper platform and further through the guide spring cylindrical column to a stop position seated within an aligned recess in a lower platform positioned slightly below the guide spring column and the supported hand grip. The guide springs are withdrawn upwardly through the upper platform leaving the replacement hand grip in place on the bat.
