They sell a liquid at the hardware stores, specifically made to make rubber type handles. You dip the end in, and it makes a rubber handle.

Works great - at least for my hammers, and a couple of other things (like putting a rubber end back on a fishing pole).

There are other brands too - some will do the foam rubber type, some do the plastic foam type. (Wal~Mart also sells a type of it - in both their sporting goods departments and hardware departments).

Simple easy fix is go to your local sporting goods store and buy yourself some golf club or tennis racket grip tape . Comes in many colors and styles like rubber , leather , etc . I have two hunting buddies that both did this to their Explorers when the old handle grips tore apart . Not only does it look good but also feels very comfortable in hand .
