1. A handle for use with a power tool, the handle comprising:
a coupling portion configured to detachably couple the handle to the power tool;
a gripping portion in connection with the coupling portion for gripping by a user;
a connector for connecting the gripping portion to the coupling portion; and
a resilient deformable member provided with and extended along the gripping portion,
wherein the resilient deformable member and the gripping portion are integrated along lengths thereof for simultaneous deformation;
wherein the gripping portion includes a body with a cavity for receiving the resilient deformable member that extends along the length of the gripping portion, wherein the body includes a void that extends along the length of the gripping portion, wherein the cavity and the resilient deformable member are shaped complementarily and extend along the length of the gripping portion in unison, and wherein the resilient deformable member is shaped as a helix; and
wherein the connector includes a shaft that extends from the coupling portion, the shaft having a first end which at least partially extends into and is maintained in suspension within the void of the body.
