Multiple positionable hand tool holder

Abstract

A multiple positionable hand tool holder, primarily intended to receive a tool for perforating an irrigation tube for the purpose of installing a drip emitter having a tubular inlet stem; the tool holder having an essentially oval configuration with a peripheral rim and a radial stem provided with a punch or the like, and capable of being held in a multiplicity of positions to permit frequent change in the manner in which the tool holder is held by the user's hand thereby materially reducing fatigue. Between use of the tool to perforate, the tool holder may be retained at the base ends of one or two fingers, permitting the fingers and thumb to pick up and manipulate a drip emitter so as to insert its inlet stem into the irrigation tube. By continued retension of the tool holder in the user's hand, the chance of losing or misplacing the tool holder in the course of installation of drip emitters is materially reduced.
