Tool Handle Extensions ~ Andy Cole

I love the versatility that double ended tool handles offer, but have never found them to be all that comfortable to hold.
 
A simple solution is to turn a handle extension that will fit into the back end of the tool handle.
 
In the tool handles pictured, 1/2-inch threaded rod was used to fit into the 1/2-inch ends of the Oneway and McNaughton handles.
 
Now the tools have the benefit of a handle extension that is also a pleasure to hold.
