because they are hard, doesn't hurt your hands and because they are cheap! (i think)
Tool handles are typically made of wood or plastic because these materials provide a good balance of strength, durability, and comfort. Wood offers a natural grip and is shock-absorbent, making it comfortable for extended use, while plastic is lightweight, resistant to moisture, and can be molded into ergonomic shapes. Both materials can be produced at a relatively low cost, making them practical choices for a wide range of tools. Additionally, they can be easily manufactured and customized to suit various applications.
Wood, Plastic.....
If the toothpick is made of wood or plastic, it would act as an insulator.
Wood is an insulator so irons are not made from wood! Their handles may be though, so you can use it without burning your hand.
Plastic or wood is used to cover the handles of aluminum pots primarily for safety and comfort. These materials provide insulation, preventing heat transfer from the pot to the handle, which helps to avoid burns during cooking. Additionally, they offer a better grip, making it easier to handle and maneuver the pots. This combination enhances both usability and safety in the kitchen.
Utensils are made of metal for durability and heat resistance. Handles are made of plastic or wood to insulate heat and provide a comfortable grip. Wood handles are also less conductive of heat compared to metal.
Saucepan handles are usually made from wood or plastic because these materials have low thermal conductivity and are less likely to get hot when the pan is placed on high heat. This prevents burns or discomfort while handling the pan. Additionally, wood and plastic handles are easier to grip and more comfortable to hold compared to metal handles.
Pottery tools can be made out of plastic, medal or plastic. These tools are used to refine shapes.
Handles are made of all sorts of shapes and sizes, and of many kinds of wood. The cheaper grades of file handles are made of soft wood. Chisel handles should always be made of hard wood. Apple wood is often used for firmer chisel handles. Socket chisel handles for heavy work are often made from hickory.ANS 2 -Many of my favorite wood chisels have handles made from 'easy to grip' rubberised composite materials. Most of these have the tang of the steel carried right through to the end of the grip. This enables the user to hammer if he really needs to ( on the odd occasion I do that, I always use a 'dead-blow' hammer.)
So that you can handle them without getting burned

Electrician tools often have handles made of plastic, rubber, or wood because these materials provide insulation against electric shocks. This is essential when working with live electrical circuits to minimize the risk of electric shock or injury. These materials also offer a comfortable grip and are generally durable enough to withstand the demands of everyday use.
wood...?
Obviously, not all saucepans have plastic handles, but most saucepans have insulating handles - wood is another common material - so that they can be safely picked up when the rest of the saucepan is hot.
insulator, a conductor is usually metal. thats why the handles of pots and pans are made of plastic and wood
