Tool coupling arrangement

A coupling for an elongated handle and a tool head, the tool head having a tool head shank supporting tool body, the tool head shank having an opening extending through the tool head shank, the coupling comprising:

• a plug member comprising first and second mating pieces that selectively joint together to form the plug member, each of the first and second mating pieces further comprising channel section that align with one another to form an elongated passage that is configured to receive the tool head shank, the elongated passage being in communication with a pair of aligned mount grooves;
• a ferrule, wherein the plug member is partially received within the ferrule;
• and
• a pin member that is configured to extend through the opening of the tool shank and seated within the aligned mount grooves of the plug member when the tool head shank is mounted in the channel to secure the tool head shank to the plug member and ferrule.

A tool comprising:

• a tool head having a tool head shank connected thereto, the tool head shank having an opening extending therethrough;
• a handle;
• and
• a coupling assembly operable to connect the handle to the tool head;
• wherein the coupling assembly further comprises a plug member, a ferrule and a pin member, the plug member having an elongated passage formed therein that is configured to receive the tool head shank, the elongated passage being in communication with a pair of aligned mount grooves;
• wherein the plug member is partially received within the ferrule, and
• wherein the pin member is configured to extend through the opening of the tool shank and seated within the aligned mount grooves of the plug member when the tool head shank is mounted in the channel to secure the tool head shank to the plug member and ferrule.
