摘要

A handle for hand tools that must be rotated during operation such as screw drivers, wrenches or the like comprises a T-shaped member including a central beam portion and a prependicular cross-bar portion. The central beam portion comprises a sleeve structure having an axially disposed blind bore adapted to receive and to be rigidly fixed to the shank of a tool at the end opposite the tool end, and the cross-beam portion comprises a handle for turning the tool. The beam portion has a shoulder adjacent the cross-bar handle portion and a bead at its lower end with a smooth generally cylindrical or slightly conical bearing surface intermediate thereof, and a sleeve is fitted around the general cylindrical surface for rotatable movement of the bearing surface during operation of the tool so that the tool can be firmly grasped and held securely in correct position by one hand of the operator grasping the sleeve while the operator uses the cross-bar handle with the other hand to rotate the handle and the tool.
