Affixed to or replacing the handle of a variety of small hand tools (e.g., file/rasp; block sander; putty knife; paint brush/roller/stripper), the Stirex Pistol-Grip Ergonomic Handle is designed to provide more leverage than a standard handle, allowing one to apply greater force with markedly less effort. This is accomplished by its upright design that both places the wrist in an ergonomically correct position and minimizes compression on the palm and fingers.
