Upgrade Your Lawn Mower Handle Grip for a Smoother Mow

Time for a Replacement Grip?

Lawn mowers tend to come with foam grips that split, tear, fall off and get yucky over time. Taking it off might somewhat solve the problem, but gripping bare metal can be uncomfortable for long periods of time, causing shaky hands, numbness, and blisters, plus it can get slippery. The solution to this? Grab yourself some Tommy Tape Grip Wrap to put on the handle. Grip Wrap doesn’t rip or tear like foam. Instead, it fuses into one solid layer of silicone for the ultimate lawn mower handle grip.

Why Use a Replacement Lawn Mower Handle Grip?

Adding a lawn mower handle grip to the metal or plastic handlebar will make mowing the lawn easier, more comfortable, and safer. Here’s why.

• Easier on Your Hands: Lawn mowers numb hands and cause blisters. Grip wrap will provide cushioning and absorb vibrations to leave your hands unharmed. Also, because it is made from tacky silicone, your hands will stay firm on the grip, preventing blisters. 
• Ribbed Grip Provides Better Control: The handle is sleek and made from slippery metal, but ribbed silicone provides added grip. Also, due to the silicone formula, the grip repels water and sweat so the handle will not get slippery on a dewy morning.
• Helps Protect the Mower: If you leave your mower outside, dew and rain can cause rust, which eventually causes cracks in the handle. You’ll need to install a new handle on the mower if the old one develops rust around the screws. Wrapping a lawn mower handle grip around the handle will help prevent the need for costly handle replacements and prolong the lifespan of your mower.
• Custom Wrap Fit: The wrap can fit around any mower handle and create a better grip for all lawn mowers.

The wrap fits around unique shapes and can work with virtually any mower.

Should I Remove the Current Lawn Mower Grip?

Is it a foam grip?:

• Damaged Foam Grip: If the foam is crumbling or damaged, then removing it would be the best option to replace the grip. The best way to remove the foam is to cut it with a multi-tool or knife. If there is adhesive left behind, clean it up with isopropyl alcohol to break down the adhesive.

• Undamaged Foam Grip: Tommy Tape Grip Wrap can be used as an overgrip. If the foam is not crumbling, then covering the foam can protect it and provide a better, more comfortable grip while making it weatherproof. 

How to Use Tommy Tape Grip Wrap on Lawn Mowers

Tommy Tape Grip Wrap is perfect as a replacement lawn mower handle grip and is quick and straightforward to install. You can wrap any handle regardless of its shape or size. Follow the steps below to make your custom lawn mower handlebar grip.

Step 1: Position your hands where you would naturally hold the mower to get an idea of the required coverage. Once you have an idea of where to begin the wrap, peel the liner away from the silicone tape.

Step 2: Press the grip wrap firmly around the lawn mower handle and wrap it over itself once.

Step 3: Hold the tape in place and cover the lawn mower handle with the tape. You want to make sure to wrap with a 1/2″ overlap and align the ridges.

Step 4: After wrapping the handle, cut the grip wrap, leaving approximately 1-2″ to finish the wrap.

Step 5: Finally, Wrap the last part of the wrap over itself completely. The tape bonds to itself on contact to keep the wrap tight.

To take off the tape, simply cut it down the center with a utility blade or scissors. The tape sticks to itself without glue, meaning there will not be any sticky, gooey residue on your mower handle if you decide to remove the tape.
