Abstract

A saw handle grip cover includes a molded shell configured to conform to an outer body shape of a saw handle. The molded shell is constructed of relatively stiff material. An outer layer, secured thereto to the molded shell, is constructed of a softer material than said molded shell. The molded shell covers at least a grippable portion of the saw handle, and the outer layer is delimited by a circumferential outer edge of the molded shell
