Abstract: The present invention is an improved long handle striking tool that provides increased speed, accuracy, efficiency, power and impact that also reduces user fatigue and improves user safety. The tool has a handle with a distal end and a proximal end with a striking tool head disposed on the distal end of the handle. There is also a sliding handle assembly that slides along the handle that includes a movable bushing to reduce friction and wear that is in direct contact with the handle and an assembly handle grip that is set on top of the bushing. There is also a plurality of fastening devices to hold the assembly handle grip and bushing together, a head mount that mounts the striking head to the distal end of the handle and a proximal handle grip attached on the proximal end of the handle. The handle can also be utilized separately.
