A hot stick for manipulating a probe from a position a selected distance away from a workpiece, the tool including an arm, a connector coupled to the arm, the connector including a connector body having a contoured first surface, and a mechanism movable relative to the connector body and configured to cooperate with the first surface of the body to retain a probe.

A modular axe having a handle; securing clamp and opening adapted to receive the handle; a first portion removable attached to the securing clamp; a second portion removable attached to the securing clamp. The front portion can be a blade and the rear portion can be a separate tool wherein the front portion and the second portion are different hardnesses and components. The handle can be received in an opening and the opening can include an oval cross section. A fastener can be removable attached to the securing clamp and can extend into or through the first side, the front portion, and the second side. A slot can be defined in the handle and adapted to receive a tab defined in the front portion wherein slot and the tab can be operatively associated to prevent the front and rear portion and securing clamp from sliding lengthwise along the handle.

Briefly stated, a broom is provided that can be used to move, sweep, clean dirt, debris, water, or other matter. The broom comprises a head, a connector mounted to the head and a handle having one end mated to the connector and extending away from the head. The head comprises a rigid frame and a bristle package which is removably secured to or received in the frame. The frame thus provides structure and rigidity to the bristle package. The bristle package can have a length greater than, generally equal to, or shorter than a length of the frame.

A device and tool include a fitting and a coupler for joining a handle and an end effector such as a broom or mop so that the handle cannot twist with respect to the end effector. The first end of the fitting attaches to the handle. The first end of the coupler threads to the second end of the fitting, and its second end threads to the end effector. Both the fitting and coupler have diametrical passages. A stopper on the coupler will seat in a ramp in the fitting when the coupler and fitting are fully threaded together and the stopper reaches the end wall of the ramp so the user knows the coupler and fitting are aligned. A clip holds the diametrical passages of the fitting and coupler in alignment to prevent twisting.

The disclosure includes a connection method to fluidly connect a fluid pathway in a handle is formed co-linearly or axially and connects to a lumen through a tool and shaft. The body and movable latch may be an integral single molded plastic part connected by a flexible. In operation actuating the movable latch to raise or lower a latching beak within a corresponding open guide in the plastic body. The shaft fits into a shaft guide in the body which intersects the beak guide to temporarily latch the shaft to the body via a mounting fixture the shaft with the beak; and, wherein the body has a face end and a tail end.

A supplemental support for infant carrier handle has top and bottom clamshells and a retention strap assembly. An upper arm support and a safety lanyard assembly can also be incorporated. In order to install the supplemental support on an infant carrier handle, the retention strap is initially tightened over the handle. Once the retention strap is initially snug, the user can push the bottom clamshell upwards towards the top clamshell, hinging the supplemental support into a closed configuration. Because of the unique function of the clamshell hinge, the hinging action tightens the retention strap even further upon closing. The bottom and top clamshells can then lock together. The supplemental support for infant carrier handle is thereby securely locked onto the infant carrier's handle and the user can simply place the bottom clamshell on his or her forearm and proceed to securely and comfortably carry the infant carrier.
