Heat shrink tubing on plier handles! 

When you did the closeup of the ends it looks like you got the better version with the adhesive on the inside...That is some good stuff. My 50 year old tools will be getting some new grips

Thank you for trying my suggestion. I was excited when I saw the title of this video. Nice video. I leave the bottoms of the handles exposed just in case I want the metal tip for tapping. I measure and cut the tubing before application. I have put two layers on some pliers. I only do this to user tools, not wall hangers.

This looks like a great way of marking tools in a shared workshop too! Just use 1 inch of your favorite color on each of your tools and voila, you know instantly if Cletus is using your damn hammer again

Nice job, Heat shrink is some very useful stuff 🛠👍😊

I’m sure more than one person mentioned using shrink tube. Next set leave about a 1/4 inch it will wrap the end better. This stuff looks pretty thick compared to the 3m stuff I suggested.

I was yelling at the phone don't cut there!! But it turned out fantastic thanks for sharing your experience I need to find some of that mines all small diameter long length or large diameter short length Great video

I have used Surgical Tubing, I put a light coat of Vaseline on the handles to help put the tubing on.

Bed liner? I have some aerosol bed liner. Is that what you put on a pipe wrench? I want to try that.

I am going to try to find some large heat shrink tubing. Did you use 1/2”

would this tools be good enough for electrical work?

Whats the size of that shrink tube bud?

Did I make first? 🏆
