Re-Grip, handy addition to water scoop handles!

[rc2125]

Have been adding these to my water scoop's handles for a few seasons now, thought I'd share, haven't seen anything about them anywhere. Initially, I had just added them above the scoop itself, made it more grippy, comfy and easier to spin the scoop side to side etc when sifting.

Then started putting them on the top too, makes it easier to hold on to scoop in the surf (more grippy), enhances overall scoop control and when dragging my scoop, the bottom edge kinda hooks my finger and makes that easier too.

Got them on Amazon, probably available elsewhere too. Use them on some dry land shovels too!

Hey good idea. I've been using water-proof duct tape on my water scoops and after a while it gets ugly. I'll definitely try re-grip, particularly given my arthritic hands. Great suggestion.

Have proven to be durable too and stay put very well. Placement can be adjusted somewhat easily, using air compressor air, blown under the grip via air chuck tip (probably youtube videos showing this with like handlebar grips etc).

I like the non-skid, peel and stick bathtub strips for the handle.

I use a product called xflock heat shrink grip. Used in building fishing rods.

I've been using some 5 minute epoxy and then throw on some sand before it dries. I like yours And Cuda's better.

I bought the Regrip on ebay and it's just what I was looking for. I highly recommend it.
