Abstract: An improved handle structure for manually engagable, manually manipulated implements and devices such as hammers, saws, hand power tools and the like. The handle structure is an elongate structure adapted to be comfortably gripped in a hand of a user. The handle is resilient and yieldingly compressable within the grip of a user on a plane which is normally substantially parallel to the mean plane of the palm of a user's hand and which provides a non-static, shock absorbing grip structure. The handle structure is substantially rigid and non-yielding on that plane which is normal to said plane of the user's hand. The handle further includes a soft resilient fingertip supporting pad that conforms with and yieldingly supports the user's fingers and soft resilient palm engaging parts that yieldingly conform with the palm of the user's hand at primary force transmitting points between the palm and the handle structure and which provides for circulation of air therebetween.
