Abstract

Embodiments of the invention relate to a tool having a working head that is pivotally adjustable relative to an elongated shaft. The working head of the tool can be almost any type of tool including gardening tools (hoes, rakes, shovels, etc.) and cleaning tools (mops, brooms, squeegies, etc.). Embodiments of the invention can include an elongated shaft and a pivot arm, which is pivotally connected to one end of the shaft. Embodiments of the invention provide apparatus for allowing a user to pivotally adjust the angular orientation of the pivot arm relative to the elongated shaft, and also for substantially locking the pivot arm in place once the desired orientation is achieved. The pivoting tool according to the invention can pivot about 90 degrees in either direction from a central location in which the pivot arm is substantially aligned with the shaft.
