Handle Grip

[burban89]

I bought a new 1/2 inch breaker bar just to keep in the Suburban as a lug wrench etc. Well its just a cheep 15 buck one, and it has the smooth handle. Do you guys have any ideas on what I can do to get some grip. on the handle.

Stuff works good have used it several times. You can either dip it or brush it on and control how thick you want the coat to be.

bike handle grip?

That's kinda what I was thinking...or the right size rubber hose.The mechanics at work have used that plastic dip stuff on pliers and other things and it just peels off.

Got a hockey playin buddy. Hes got this special tape for the end of his Hockey Stick. I bet it would work great its almost like a kind of fabric type deal. Id guess its fairly cheap.

Lee Valley sells some good stuff.

I like the bike grip idea actually, there are some awesome grips out there, check out good bike stores though not hardware stores.

Everytime I use the diy liner I try to finish off the leftovers on something useful. I've done my highlift handle and love it!
