Today at someone else house, I got a splinter in my thumb

I may be back in a few months, or I can contact them by
mail. I'm curious some ideas to make the handles safer.

The wheelbarrows are for moving fire wood, in front of a
store. They are outdoors all summer. This is in NY state,
USA.

I'm thinking coat of polyurethane, wrap in electrical tape,
sports tape, the wide stuff with the zigzag edges, spray
clear spray paint. Who has this knowledge? Tried and true,
please.

Hi,
I just wear good quality well fitting pair of work gloves.

Best idea. No blisters, work all the time, not just when you're not
holding the wheelbarrow. Make you feel 2 or 3 times as strong, when
you don't have to worry about ripping your fingers to shreds.
