    I hate those handles!

    While musing on alternate designs for such a tool, it occurred to me that a beefier variant of this style of gripper...

    would accommodate many odd-shaped handle (OSH) designs.

    Imagine a 1/8" steel plate with an array of holes drilled through it. The back side of this plate has a chunk of 3/8" hex steel welded in the middle.

    In use bolts would be passed through the holes in a pattern that trapped the OSH. The bolts would be secured in place with nuts. Then a socket wrench would be used on the 3/8" hex steel to torque the OSH.
