I have a couple of different make tool handles and they are all good but involve an Allen Key to change the tool. This Hope tool handle just makes life a bit easier in that all you do is put the tool in and tighten it up. I would recommend this product.

This was a bit of an impulse buy having decided to go down the Hope Hollowing tools route, I also picked up this handle. Usually I make my own in timber, following the Robert Sorby shape which I like, but have been reading a lot about how much easier it is to sharpen tools out of the handle and had a ½” spindle gouge that needed replacing, so instead of making one I bought one, it is good. Still getting used to the parallel shape but weight and balance are great. And yes I think it is easier to sharpen out of the handle. Verdict… I think I may be spending more money!

I’ve been trying to get the Hope quick release tool handles here in the US and the woodturning shop opened and offers shipping here, thank you so much. I liked it so much I order two more so now I have all three size handles.
