A fire hydrant wrench includes a wrench-head able to fasten to the pentagonal interface of a fire-hydrant and a handle able to be selectively extended or retracted by a user. The wrench includes a cylindrical rod which may be contained by and telescopes within a tubular handle. A cap on a handle-end of the tubular handle prevents the cylindrical rod from leaving the handle in one direction, while a collar affixed externally to the cylindrical rod prevents it from leaving the handle in the opposite direction. The tool-head containing the wrench is affixed to a tool-end of the cylindrical rod which protrudes from the tubular handle in all positions.

A paint roller assembly for allowing a sufficient amount of pressure to be applied for distributing paint evenly is disclosed. The paint roller assembly includes a pair of frame members. One frame member includes a handle. A cylindrical-shaped core is attached to another end of each of the frame members. In one aspect, the pair of frame members are coupled to each other at a first end by a variety of different coupling mechanisms. When assembled, a central, longitudinal axis of the handle is substantially parallel to a central, longitudinal axis of the cylindrical-shaped core, thereby allowing the user to apply sufficient pressure to more evenly distribute paint during use.

A solar panel cleaning system includes a brush connected by a hose to a fluid supply. The brush has scrubbing material, such as bristles, attached to a brush body for mechanically cleaning the surface of the solar panel. The width of the contact surface of the scrubbing material may be equal to the width of the solar panel, so that the solar panel may be cleaned with only upward and downward strokes. The brush body may further support a fluid manifold that receives the fluid from the fluid supply. The fluid manifold may include nozzles that emit the fluid under pressure onto the solar panel. The nozzles may project both frontward and rearward of the brush body so that the fluid sprays off the solar panel in front of and behind the brush. Spray patterns of the nozzles may overlap and impinge the entire width of the solar panel.

An apparatus including left and right handle portions; a first blade portion; a first device; and a fastener. The fastener may be configured to connect in a first state, first ends of the left handle portion, the right handle portion, and the first blade portion to each other, with the first blade portion sandwiched between the left and right handle portions. The first device may be configured to connect second ends of the left and right handle portions and an intermediate part of the first blade portion. In at least one embodiment, in the first state the left and right handle portions, and the first blade portion are fixed to each other so that their orientation with respect to one another cannot be changed without disconnecting the fastener so that it no longer connects the first ends of the left and right handle portions, and the first blade portion.

Demolition tools are presented including: a handle having a proximal end and a distal end, where the handle includes a reinforcing gusset mechanically coupled with the prying head, and where the handle further includes at least three bends along a handle length; a prying head disposed along the distal end of the handle, the prying head including at least two tines mechanically coupled with a cross frame; and a striking head mechanically coupled with and disposed along at least one end of the cross frame.

A gardening tool includes an elongated body having a first end and a second end. An arm attachment portion is coupled substantially at the first end of the elongated body. The arm attachment portion is configured to at least partly wrap around a user's forearm. The tool also includes a pivotally adjustable handle that is coupled to and extends substantially laterally from the elongated body. The handle is disposed between the first and the second end of the elongated body. The tool further includes a pad that is coupled to the elongated body. The pad is disposed between the handle and the arm attachment portion, and its position is adjustable along a longitudinal axis of the elongated portion. A adapter mechanism is disposed at the second end of the elongated body. The adapter mechanism is configured to allow for interchanging of gardening tool heads.
