Abstract
A hand tool handle with shock absorbent airbag comprising mainly an airbag element within a handle which is designed to fit various hand tools, with the inner hollow space of the handle being designed for embedding of the airbag elements so that an airbag is formed between the handle and the hand tool to absorb shock from reaction of impacting force and consequently the shock being felt by a person holding the hand tool is lowered. The airbag element can be a hollow structure with two legs portions, or a cylindrical hollow structure, or even formed as an inner part of the handle during production.
