Use to work with a guy who would use old plastic water supply lines to fix his tool handles . Worked great

That's another good idea, I think the new plastic pipes plumbers are using nowadays might work aswell

I would of never though of using heat shrink on the handles, great idea!!!

Thanks Guys it's some useful stuff 👍 👍

I've got a set of them pretty much identical. May even be the same brand. When I found them they were so rusted I couldn't use them. I just used some household stuff to get rid of the rust. Working perfectly now and I use them a lot. I like the button you press to adjust them. Great video.

I have done the shrink tubing on old pliers before. It holds up better than you would think. The hard part is finding the tubing in the larger sizes.

that was a ton of fun to watch. I use shrink sleeves on occasion for wires but never thought about using it for tool handles. I have also never heard of plastic dip. I definitely need to look into trying that out!!!

I never seen a short can of plasti dip the ones I have are longer for dipping. I like the heat shrink on top, great idea. I have a video where I put the heat shrink first then the plasti dip, your way is more durable.

Yes I wish I had a taller can it would be better for longer stuff, I just used the dip on my wire cutters and it wore through, as you say the heatshrink is more durable, Just going to look at your newest video now...

One thing I have noticed with heat shrink is that the 3:1 leaves a thicker finished product than the 2:1. Especially the ones with the glue in them, like the marine heat shrink. Never thought of using heat shrink on tool handles. Will have to try that!

Nice work

I have found Plasti-Dip to be much more durable if you let it cure (outgas) for several days before use. Also, to finish the ends of tools with heat shrink tubing: cut a section of tubing the length of the handle diameter, cut that in half, slide this "cup" up into the end and shrink together with outer sleeve. After doing a few tools you can achieve an almost "seamless" finish. Unrelated: What is the knife you used in your "Splitting Maul Re-handle" video? It looks like a miniature Australian Army machete.

What the purpose of plastidip if it's covered with heat shrink tube? Why not just the heat shrink only?

Just to fatten the handles up a bit, also it makes the handles feel a bit nicer in hand
