The present invention features a universal primary hand grip device for use with tools and utensils. The primary hand grip has multiple angles by which the hand can grip the shaft of a tool or utensil, thus making the grip ergonomically efficient. When used in combination with a secondary cross-handle, a tool or utensil can become quite easy to use and comfortable to operate. The primary hand grip device of this invention has a grip that slides over, or is made integral with, the end of the shaft of a tool or utensil. The hand grip has a multiply-angled surface, in which the primary hand can assume a substantially straight-angled position (180. degree. angle) with respect to the axis of the wrist. The correct hand position varies with each tool and with each work surface. The proper grip angle for a particular task allows the hand to maintain a straight angle with respect to the wrist axis, while also imparting the driving force of the arm into the shaft of the tool.
