what about going into your local sporting goods store and picking up a pack of tennis racket grip tape, i use it on my stiletto hammer, no issues except when it gets wet

thanks for the suggestion,i think i will do something with eletrical tape if i cant find the leather,its just im so use to the leather grip its going to take a while to used to something else

NO!!!!! Electrical tape will do nothing but become a sticky, pealing mess of crap on yer hands!!!!

Friction tape works a BIT better, but not by much.

And by the way.........Pick an account a kill the other. It is already too much work to decipher who is who with out delving in to multiple ID's.

Isn't there a leather guy who makes belts and wallets or shoe repair shop in your town? Either of those guys should be able to make you something proper.

Call Senco on the phone. I called and asked about one of the plastic cases for the finish nailers and then sent me one for free.

You could always use skateboard grip tape

Might look like poo but it'lnever slip out of your hands
