Abstract: A handle is provided of unique shape and profile suitable for use with a variety of means requiring a handle, e.g., a golf spike wrench, a screwdriver, and a corkscrew. In the case of a golf spike wrench, a wrench is provided that can be used with either hand, and that offers maximum support for the palm of one's hand. Through provision of a thumb rest on the golf spike wrench, pressure can be directed on the golf spike, facilitating removal or insertion of a spike into the sole of one's golf shoes. The golf spike wrench in accordance with the invention in the most preferred aspect includes a combination handle and spike cleaner.

Abstract: A golf spike which locks securely to the sole of a golf shoe when attached thereto has a convex face plate with a spike member extending centrally therethrough and is secured to the plate by first and second spaced apart flanges formed on the spike member. One of the flanges has a ribbed face in contact with the plate to help lock the plate thereto when the flanges are pressed against it. Notches formed at the edge of the plate accomodate part of the sole material therein when the plate is secured against the sole of a golf shoe, and thus firmly lock the spike to the shoe. The trailing edge of the notches is upturned to facilitate attachment of the spike and minimize scoring.
