Good Evening Friends,
Having those clamps with the little wooden handles that seem to let your hand slip while you are tightening them is a pain.
What could you do to get a better grip?

Wrap them with the rubberised [NOT rubberiZed] bandage which the
Olympic [GOLD Winning] cyclists use on their handlebars.

Drill a hole at 90 degrees through the handle and use a 3" nail as a tommy bar.

Make the handles the same style as a "G" clamp. You need to be careful then not to apply too much pressure or you will damage your work.

you are OBVIOUSLY not electricly inclined.
3 inch nails are fuse material, not handles,
That's for a four incher.

Ahh yes it's all coming back now...the slow-blow fuse!
As I recall it's big brother the no-blow could be constructed with a 1/2" bolt.
Oh for the good old days before circuit breakers!!
Cheers,

Good Evening Friends,
Ivan was the closest to the answer I was looking for as he said wrap them with the rubberized tape while the correct answer was to dip them in heavy duty flexible coating, such as "Plasti - Dip".
Let the coating cure and your clamps will be as good as new.
Thank you for your support.
