Abstract

The handle has an insert portion having a plurality of radially extending fins and a grip surface. The handle is inserted into a hollow core. The fins provide a fit that allows the core to rotate relative to the handle. The fins can deform when subjected to such rotation. The grip is positioned to allow the user to squeeze the handle against the core to slow or stop said rotation.
