Claim:
A handle for a hand-held tool, comprising: a pair of clamp halves capable of clamping and fixing a mount portion of the hand-held tool from opposite sides of the mount portion; an operation device including an operation member capable of opening and closing the clamp halves relative to the mount portion; and a handle body configured to be grasped by an operator; wherein: the handle body comprises a pair of support arms and a grip portion; the support arms are configured to support the operation device; the grip portion extends between the support arms; the operation device is configured such that the clamp halves can move to open or close relative to the mount portion independently of the support arms; the operation device includes: a fixing screw having a threaded shank; and a first non-elastically deformable actuation member movable in an axial direction of the threaded shank; the operation member comprises a nut engaging with the threaded shank, so that the first non-elastically deformable actuation member moves in the axial direction to cause the clamp halves to be opened or closed as the nut rotates relative to the threaded shank; and the first non-elastically deformable actuation member is positioned on one side of the nut in the axial direction and between the nut and both clamp halves.
