Posted By David Burgess Has anybody had success with vibration damping of hand tools, e.g. by use of replacement handles etc. Also does anyone have contact details of companies who a) supply this kind of attachement and/or b) supply low vibration tooling Regards David

Posted By Larry Bishop, CSP I think this is a link that will help you, David. http://www.heti.com/index.htm This is the only company I know of in the US that designs and manufactures tool dampening systems. Good luck!

Posted By Peter Harvey David, Your message prompted me to read the July 99 Safety and Health Practitioner again which had an article on Hand Arm Vibration. I remembered seeing an advertisement about using gloves with internal air bladders to reduce the vibration level !! You might like to look this one up, if it works it must be more cost effective?
