Abstract: A self supporting implement apparatus includes an elongated handle having upper and lower end portions and a working tool end portion that is affixed to the lower end portion of the handle. The combination of handle and working tool end portion define an implement to be gripped and manipulated by a user. A sleeve provides a central longitudinal bore that is sized and shaped to receive the handle, the sleeve having a gripping surface and a lower end portion with a plurality of separate legs having slots there between, each leg having a foot. A fitting is attached to the handle above the tool end portion, the fitting having a plurality of passages, one passage for each leg. Each of the passages is shaped to divert a leg away from the central longitudinal axis of the handle so that the foot of each leg can define engage a floor surface at a position that is spaced radially from the central longitudinal axis of the handle.
