Abstract:

An applicator for surface treatment tools, such as drywall knockdown blades, wire brushes, scrapers, putty knives, and the like provides a rotatable bracket attached to a handle. Attachment of the surface tool to the bracket permits variance to the angular positioning between the handle and the surface tool as required by the positioning of the tool operator and/or the surface to be worked relative to the positioning of the tool operator. Set angular positions are provided by the bracket, with changes in positioning requiring actuation of an internal locking mechanism by the operator during use of the tool.
