Abstract
A fire fighting tool provides a handle that is removably and adjustable attached to a pole (or similar instrument) at a convenient location along the length and about the circumference of the pole. The tool is constructed to orient the handle generally perpendicularly to the axis of the pole to which the tool is attached, and to maintain the relative orientation of the handle and the pole as forces are exerted manually on the handle and transmitted to the pole by the tool. The tool enables a user of the tool to apply a greater amount of their available strength in manipulating the tool.
