Abstract
A rechargeable, reusable heated hand grip for use on a ski pole, shovel or other cold weather hand-held tool or object is provided. The hand grip includes a bushing for receiving the end of a tubular object and retaining the object within a bore in the central core of the hand grip, which compresses around the bushing for tight engagement. A wire-wound heating element is wrapped around the exterior surface of the central core and an outer housing surrounds the heating element and the central core. The bore houses a pair of lithium-ion batteries connected in series, a switch with the switch control protruding from the top of the grip, and a printed circuit board connected to the switch.
