More Information
Summary:A shock-absorbing telescoping tool handle (2) is disclosed having tubular, larger diameter proximal and a smaller diameter distal portions (4, 6). An internal spring (14) between the handle portions is compressed when the handle portions telescope toward each other. Guide mechanism (26, 28) in the handle portions limits the extent of sliding motion between the handle portions and prevents relative rotation of the handle portions. One or more wipers (40) in the handle portions wipes away any snow, water or debris on the distal portion which could potentially enter the spring area.
