Abstract
A preferred tool for killing insects and lifting small objects has a tool, an upper handle part (10); a lower handle part (12), a tool extension base (15); attached to a tool extension (14); by some form of hinge (16). A control rod (11) attaches, at one end, to the tool extension and to a positioner (13) on the other. The control rod (11) is positioned within the handle parts (10 and 12). A pad (45) with adhesive faced sheets (48) is attachable to the tool head formed by the tool extension base and extensions. In other models, the handle (51 and 65) is formed of a single part.

In a tool comprising a handle, a tool head, a control rod and a plurality of stops on or in the handle;
- the improvement comprising
- A tool head having a tool extension base connected to a tool extension across a hinge line, a control rod rotatably attached to the tool extension and attachable to a stop, the handle, to rotate the tool to a predetermined angle with respect to the tool extension base.
A tool comprising an upper handle part having on one end a tool head and, intermediate its length, a plurality of stops and, proximate to the tool head, a slot;
- the tool head having a tool extension base connected to a tool extension positioned across a rotation permitting fuse line having hooks for connection to a control rod;
- the control rod being rotatably connected to the hooks inserted through the slot in the upper handle and connected to a positioner on the other end;
- a lower handle part, complementary in shape to a side of the upper handle part, opposite to the stops, attached to the upper handle part and enclosing an intermediate portion of the control rod and a positioner, encircling the upper handle part which is connected to the end of the control rod opposite to the connection to the hooks and which interacts with at least one of the stops to fix the position of the control rod and therethrough fix the position of the tool extension for usage.
