    My digging hand used to really hurt after digging a bunch of holes with my Lesche. I have the black one with the silver screw cap. I found some tape at Home Depot that looks like electrical tape but is much more pliable and conforms to just about any direction. I used the whole roll ($6-7), but it is much more comfortable now.
