Applicator

A combined hand tool and applicator useable for applying a material to a surface comprising:

• a T-bar tool having an elongated cylindrical bar, said bar having a continuous cylindrical outer surface and a generally uniform diameter and opposite ends, a connector secured to a central portion of the bar, a socket adapted to be connected to a handle, means pivotally connecting the socket to the connector whereby the socket can be angularly moved relative to the bar, an applicator including an elongated linear tubular member having an inside cylindrical surface having an inside diameter, said diameter of the bar being larger than the inside diameter of the tubular member, said tubular member surrounding and located in biased surface friction engagement with said continuous cylindrical outer surface of the bar, a generally cylindrical outer surface, opposite ends of the tubular member located outwardly from the opposite ends of the bar, and a linear slot extended longitudinally between said opposite ends of the tubular member, said connector extended through said slot, a sleeve surrounding said outer surface of the tubular member, said sleeve having opposite ends adjacent the opposite ends of the tubular member, each of said opposite ends of the sleeve having a lip below and transversely aligned with the slot in the tubular member, said opposite ends of the tubular member and sleeve tapering upwardly and inwardly toward said slot in the tubular member, and means securing the sleeve to the outer surface of the tubular member.
