Abstract:

A handle is inserted between the male end coupler and the end connector on a conventional hydraulic hose. The handle has a solid rigid core with a passageway therethrough which connects to the hose end connector and the male end coupler. The core which substantially enlarges the effective diameter of the handle is embraced by a flexible sleeve of molded PVC and provides a holding station for the operator's hand between front and rear annular shoulders that keeps a hand from slipping off the handle and protects the handle from splattering oil from the hydraulic pump.
