Abstract: Dual layered hand grip coverings made of synthetic rubber by ejection molding and a link universally applicable to all hand tools are disclosed. The inner coverings are made of a hard material, while the outer coverings are made of a soft materials. The inner coverings are clad in the outer coverings directly at the time ejection molding process is carried out. A link is provided for the hand tool with its one end hinged to the inner covering of one hand grip, and the other end hinged to the inner covering of the opposite hand grip so that the hand tool may be conveniently put aside when not in use. Moreover, the two coverings are formed of differently colored materials so that purposely exposed portions of the inner coverings exhibit a strong color contrast with the outer coverings and a distinct identification marking.
