From the patent's description,"My invention relates to improvements in insulating, devices for hand tools such as screw drivers, drills, and the like."
The object of the invention is to provide a new article of manufacture which is capable of being bodily applied to or removed from a hand tool to prevent the user from accidentally engaging a metallic part of the tool in the ordinary use of the same.
