A multi-segmented handle built in tiers, with vibration isolators separating one tier from the other tiers. The tier that connects via isolators with a machine base is the one to which the other tiers are attached. The tiers shape is circular or a series of circles to diminish the shock wave and each tiers tubes are filled with a vibration dampening element turning the tier into a harmonic absorber. Each tier has attachments to accommodate the isolators for attaching one tier to another tier. The shapes that the tiers take are not limited to circular but includes all shapes, curved or straight and the isolators include all types of isolators.
