Yard work and gardening can sometimes leave your hands feeling achy and sore. Take the pain out of planting.

Whether you’re tending to your edible garden or a vertical one, surely you rely on the help of trusty garden tools to get the job done.

From your hand rakes, trowels, loppers, and pruning shears to hand forks and garden hoes – the list of tools you need to make your garden flourish goes on. While these tools are essential for enjoying blooms and fresh veggies or herbs, the bare wood and metal handles can be harsh on the hands. It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting in the world of plant care or a seasoned green thumb. Garden hand tool grips help you plant in comfort.

Learn how regripping old tools with Tommy Tape Grip Wrap can drastically change the way you garden. This garden tool grip is designed so you can use your hands while reducing strain, blisters, and it’s made with tacky silicone to prevent slipping.

What Are Handle Grips for Tools?

Some garden tools come with grips made of soft material for comfort, but they can wear down or break apart. Other garden hand tool grips are made from a stiffer material to be more durable, but those grips may sacrifice comfort. You can install Tommy Tape Grip Wrap on dozens of garden tools to add a comfortable grip so you can garden with ease.

When you purchase a new garden tool, it may come with some type of foam, rubber, or plastic handle, or the bare wood or metal will be exposed. Unfortunately, most garden hand tool grips fall apart or fail before the end of the tool’s life. Foam tears, plastic cracks, and rubber can slip off or unravel. Bare wood handles can leave you with pesky and painful splinters. Metal handles get slippery from sweat and can rust quickly. Not ideal.

Handle grips for tools are designed to keep you more comfortable. But most of the time, they fall apart, break, or don’t work. That’s where Tommy Tape comes in.

Why Use a Garden Hand Tool Grip?

Regripping old tools have never been simpler. The ​​Tommy Tape Grip Wrap creates customized handle grips for tools. Adding handle grips for tools can help with the following:

• The tacky grip helps avoid slips, blisters, splinters, and calluses.
• Grip Wrap can prolong the lifespan of your garden tools without sacrificing comfort. In addition, the wrap helps protect exposed wood or metal from elements that cause natural wear & tear.
• Added ribs on the Grip Wrap make the tools easier to hold, maneuver, and prevent sliding. The unique ridges create a more reliable and comfortable grip than the standard garden hand tool grip.
• Grip Wrap comes in various colors. Use different colors for better organization or to breathe new life into an old tool.
• Grip wrap doesn’t rip like foam or crack like plastic. Once you regrip old tools, Tommy Tape will stay put.

How to Regrip Old Tools

Seamlessly install the Tommy Tape Grip Wrap on almost any handle. The application process is simple. Here’s what you should know.

Begin by selecting which garden tools you want to add a grip to. If your tool has a damaged handle grip, you may want to remove it before applying the new grip. Try cutting the existing grip and remove sticky residue with rubbing alcohol or isopropyl to break down the adhesive. If the handle is made from bare wood, metal, or plastic, you don’t have to remove it. If the existing foam grip is in good condition, you can overwrap it with Tommy Tape Grip to extend the life of the grip beneath and add a new layer with a tacky feel.

Grab your Grip Wrap and follow the steps below.

Step 1: Determine where your hands will naturally grip the garden tool and mark beginning and end points if necessary. Peel the liner away from the grip.

Step 2: Press the grip wrap firmly around the existing garden hand tool grip and wrap it over itself once.

Step 3: Hold the tape in place and cover the garden tool handle with the tape. You want to make sure to wrap with a 1/2 overlap and align the ridges with the flat part of the grip.

Step 4: After wrapping the handle, cut the grip wrap, leaving approximately 1-2″ to finish the wrap.

Step 5: Wrap the final wrap over itself completely, squeeze grip firmly to ensure bond activates. Trim ends as needed with a utility knife to carve a perfect finish.  The grip self-bonds within seconds and is ready for use.

If you feel like your tool could use a little more cushion, add a double layer of Grip Tape for even more comfort. The tape is just as easy to remove as it is to apply. Simply cut the tape off with a utility knife. No icky, sticky residue will be left behind. Use any leftover tape on other items around the house and garage like making pencil grips, shower bath wands, using on lawn mower handles, tennis rackets, and virtually any other tool that has a handle.

What Else You Should Know About Tommy Tape Grip Wrap

Apply the tape on any tool that you can wrap. One size fits all. In every package, you’ll receive 60 inches or more of tape to use on various instruments and handles.

Time for a Replacement Grip?

Lawn mowers tend to come with foam grips that split, tear, fall off and get yucky over time. Taking it off might somewhat solve the problem, but gripping bare metal can be uncomfortable for long periods of time, causing shaky hands, numbness, and blisters, plus it can get slippery. The solution to this? Grab yourself some Tommy Tape Grip Wrap to put on the handle. Grip Wrap doesn’t rip or tear like foam. Instead, it fuses into one solid layer of silicone for the ultimate lawn mower handle grip.

Why Use a Replacement Lawn Mower Handle Grip?

Adding a lawn mower handle grip to the metal or plastic handlebar will make mowing the lawn easier, more comfortable, and safer. Here’s why.

• Easier on Your Hands: Lawn mowers numb hands and cause blisters. Grip wrap will provide cushioning and absorb vibrations to leave your hands unharmed. Also, because it is made from tacky silicone, your hands will stay firm on the grip, preventing blisters. 
• Ribbed Grip Provides Better Control: The handle is sleek and made from slippery metal, but ribbed silicone provides added grip. Also, due to the silicone formula, the grip repels water and sweat so the handle will not get slippery on a dewy morning.
• Helps Protect the Mower: If you leave your mower outside, dew and rain can cause rust, which eventually causes cracks in the handle. You’ll need to install a new handle on the mower if the old one develops rust around the screws. Wrapping a lawn mower handle grip around the handle will help prevent the need for costly handle replacements and prolong the lifespan of your mower.
• Custom Wrap Fit: The wrap can fit around any mower handle and create a better grip for all lawn mowers.

The wrap fits around unique shapes and can work with virtually any mower.

Should I Remove the Current Lawn Mower Grip?

Is it a foam grip?:

• Damaged Foam Grip: If the foam is crumbling or damaged, then removing it would be the best option to replace the grip. The best way to remove the foam is to cut it with a multi-tool or knife. If there is adhesive left behind, clean it up with isopropyl alcohol to break down the adhesive.

• Undamaged Foam Grip: Tommy Tape Grip Wrap can be used as an overgrip. If the foam is not crumbling, then covering the foam can protect it and provide a better, more comfortable grip while making it weatherproof. 

How to Use Tommy Tape Grip Wrap on Lawn Mowers

Tommy Tape Grip Wrap is perfect as a replacement lawn mower handle grip and is quick and straightforward to install. You can wrap any handle regardless of its shape or size. Follow the steps below to make your custom lawn mower handlebar grip.

Step 1: Position your hands where you would naturally hold the mower to get an idea of the required coverage. Once you have an idea of where to begin the wrap, peel the liner away from the silicone tape.

Step 2: Press the grip wrap firmly around the lawn mower handle and wrap it over itself once.

Step 3: Hold the tape in place and cover the lawn mower handle with the tape. You want to make sure to wrap with a 1/2″ overlap and align the ridges.

Step 4: After wrapping the handle, cut the grip wrap, leaving approximately 1-2″ to finish the wrap.

Step 5: Finally, Wrap the last part of the wrap over itself completely. The tape bonds to itself on contact to keep the wrap tight.

To take off the tape, simply cut it down the center with a utility blade or scissors. The tape sticks to itself without glue, meaning there will not be any sticky, gooey residue on your mower handle if you decide to remove the tape.
