PrevalRe-Grip Handle-Large

These are great, with a lot if different uses. Super tough. Super easy to apply.Be warned--once you've started applying it, you won't be able to adjust the placement. That being said, BUY TWO because they're very affordable and if you're happy with the placement of the first one then your bound to find a use for the spare in the future. Else, if you don't like the placement of the first, then you can cut it off and redo with the second.Application tip:The first time I used one was for replacing the end grip on a fiberglass shovel handle that I shortened for use in my Jeep. Following the application instructions--pull release strip away from the end of handle--resulted in me having about 2-in of excess rubber tube hanging off the end because the grip stretches in the direction of pull as you collapse the support tube. Instead, pull it in the reverse direction--towards the other end of the handle, in my case the shovel head--so that you can control the exact placement at the end of the handle. See photo for perfect end placement using this method.

I tried this on my 2014 BMW S1000RR motorcycle with standard 7/8" clip on's... I didn't want to loose the OEM heated grips (they cost $500!) and the grip puppies and beemer puppies both basically killed the heat from transfer. I also wanted to try to reduce some of the vibrations at the 4000rpm range without having to buy overpriced heavy bar ends.I bought two sizes...small and medium. Both had the same 3-4mm thickness, but the mediums were definitely easier to put on. The small fit, but it was way harder to pull the string to decompress the grip. Go for medium...easier to put on and same thickness. No need to remove bar ends either, literally a 10 second installation.They did reduce the vibrations a bit, but also ended up numbing the front end feeling which made riding less enjoyable so I actually ended up carefully cutting and removing them (#1 reason my removal). The heated grips worked almost as good through these grips so no complaints about that. They did make the bike grips a little too thick for my taste (#2 for my removal)... if you have XL hands or larger and want a "thick" grip, these will do the trick. If your hands are smaller than XL, forget it... your hand may hurt from the larger grip diameter.This is a genius innovation, I will be using it on other tools such as my car jack.

I have your stand wheelbarrow with 1 1/4 inch rounded handle. Wow! was I surprised how this fit. It can be a little deceiving when you first get these as I immediately thought I got the wrong size because it was quite big with the plastic expansion coiling inside. Decide to go ahead and give it a try and once you remove the expansion coil it shrinks and grabs the handle perfectly, just make sure you have it in exactly the position you want it cause once it's on, it's on. Read the directions carefully, follow through and bingo!! A little pricey but it works. It is made of a rubber material so over time if it's left out in the weather it's going to break down.

I ordered one of these for a wheelbarrow handle. I measured it and it is 1.5". This grip states it works up to 1.5" - it does not. You need the larger size. I could NOT pull the plastic out without a real battle and in the end it slipped off the handle as it was TOO TIGHT A FIT for the handle. I do like the premise of it and how it works though, so, in an effort to learn from my mistake, I have ordered the larger size. If it doesn't fit/work, I am going to return them along with some of my skin and blood lost during the process. I hope the larger size does the trick.

Two wheelbarrows - I installed these on one, and I stretched bicycle intertubes over the handles of another. Both solved the splinter problems we had, both have held up to the elements very well. THIS PRODUCT is the luxury version - very easy to install, and definitely feel very nice on the hands. My opinion: if you use your wheelbarrow a lot, these are definitely worth it. Otherwise, these are a way to spoil yourself with a little luxury that works well. Bicycle intertubes are not as classy, easy or comfortable.
