Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a tool handle and, more specifically, to an extension handle adapted for use with a number of different sizes of hex keys or similar tools. A tool handle for receiving L-key wrenches of various sizes including an elongated axle member and first and second generally-cylindrical members, each cylindrical member having a central bore for receiving the elongated axle member. The first and second cylindrical members are mounted in end-to-end relationship on the axle member, and each is rotatable independently both with respect to the other cylindrical member and to the axle. Each of the first and second cylindrical members has an elongated slot along its length and a plurality of through bores of varying size spaced radially from the central bore and adapted to receive the shank portion of an L-key. First and second end caps are secured to the elongated axle, and both the first and second end caps have a slot therein corresponding in shape to the elongated slot on its adjacent cylindrical member. The end caps are rotatable with respect to the first and second cylindrical members so that the slots in the end caps can be selectively aligned with the slot and radially-spaced through bores in its adjacent cylindrical member.
