Giving Your Shovel a Proper Grip

Shovel grip can make manual labor tasks easier and less fatiguing. Now it’s important especially when working in wet or slippery conditions or with heavy loads. Even snow shovels can benefit from a good grip. The grip can help prevent straining your back and arms while shoveling.

Is Silicone Grip Wrap Necessary?

  • Straining of the back and arms: Without a good grip, you may have to use more force to handle the shovel, leading to strain on your back and arms.
  • Slipping or losing control: A slippery shovel handle can make manual labor tasks more difficult and dangerous.
  • Discomfort and fatigue: A lack of grip on the handle can make you have to constantly adjust your hands and hurt your hands from trying to keep a grasp.
