Abstract

A tool includes a housing; a handle having first and second ends mounted thereto via respective mountings, and a biasing mechanism connected between the housing and handle. At least one mounting comprises parts mounted on the housing and end of the handle respectively, one part comprising a support, the other comprising a pin having a longitudinal axis, located in the support and capable of moving linearly or being rotated therein so the handle may move accordingly. The pin is in a passage of the support having larger length than width, allowing free movement either rotationally about its axis or linearly along the length for rotational or linear movement of the end of the handle. The width size varies along the passage, providing a convex surface along at least part of the length, engageable by the pin's side to enable pivoting within the passage about an axis parallel to the length.
