Handle for grill cleaning tools

A handle for a tool, said handle being of rigid material and having a longitudinal centerline and comprising:

• a distal working head portion having a distal end,
• an intermediate gripping portion, and
• a proximal forearm embracing portion,
• said portions being symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal centerline of the handle, said gripping portion including:
• a base between said working head portion and said forearm embracing portion and including a top surface,
• an upstanding member extending upwardly from said top surface and contoured to be gripped by the fingers and hand of a user to apply forces generally parallel to the centerline,
• said working head portion including:
• an upper surface and a lower surface,
• a distalmost splash guard extending upwardly from the upper surface across the working head portion,
• said lower surface of said working head portion including a recess extending from the distal most end proximally and across the head portion defining an abutment shoulder, said recess being sized and configured to receive a portion of a tool,
• attachment means carried on the working head portion for removably attaching the tool to the head portion in the recess and in engagement with the abutment shoulder,
• said forearm embracing portion including:
• a pair of opposite lever rails extending proximally from the gripping portion upwardly at an angle relative to said upper and lower surface of said working head portion and said lever rails diverging outwardly with respect to one another to a proximal end zone,
• said proximal end zone including an inverted U-shaped portion sized to nest over the arm of a user to apply a tilting force in order to exert downwardly directed forces on the distal end of the working head portion and the tool attached thereto when in use.
