Packard Woodworks sells almost all tools unhandled which is the way I
buy them. The saving is usually only about $3.00 but even if it were
zero I'd still do it this way. Most factory handles are too light, too
small in diameter and too short to be comfortable for me.

Easier to cut off the handle, and only have to do it once.


Used to be that you could get unhandled tools for $10 or so cheaper than
the handled ones. Why not go that route and turn/reuse your own handles?
