Abstract: A billiard aim instruction kit for pocket billiards. A position reference tool is placed at locations on a pocket billiard table surface and aligned aiming toward a pocket. A marking powder packet is used to mark each location. The position reference tool is then removed to reveal each location's aiming point reference mark, 5 object ball position marks, 5 aiming angle reference marks and a center hit cue ball direction reference mark. An object ball is centered on the 5 object ball position marks of each location marked and rail indicators mark the rail for cue ball direction. The student shoots the cue ball from one of 5 different aiming angle reference points a multiplicity of times without further marking procedures. After each shot the student receives feed back as he compares results with the rail indicator and graphics on the position reference tool.

Abstract: A tool guide enables the earth or other surfaces to support the weight of a portable tool without using wheels or casters while providing a unique combination of adjustments positioning portable tools such as hedge trimmers to trim hedges or shrubs accurately. A first set of telescoping tubes is hinge coupled to one end of a second set of telescoping tubes. The other end of the second set of telescoping tubes rests and pivots upon the earth providing weight support and unique arc and rotational adjustment for the portable tool. The portable tool is mounted onto one end of a first set of telescoping tubes with a tool to handle adapter. An electrical cord is inserted through a portable tool handle extension and connects to the portable tool. A locking adjustment on the second set of telescoping tubes controls height adjustment.

Abstract: A ground supported portable tool guide for use with portable tools such as hedge trimmers. The weight of said portable tools is supported by a surface and not the operator while allowing the portable tool to be easily maneuvered at adjustable extended distances from the operator while said operator simultaneously performs useful work. Said ground supported portable tool guide comprises a first set of telescoping tubes (20) and (23) hinge coupled to a second set of telescoping tubes (34) and (37) using a hinge assembly (30), (46) and (60) with a tool to handle adapter (66) on one end of the first set of telescoping tubes and a ground support pivoting foot (57) on one end of the second set of telescoping tubes. The adjustment of said second set of telescoping tubes is selectively and repeatedly lockable in relation to each other for height adjustment (35), (36) and (40) with said ground supported pivoting foot providing weight support and position maneuverability.
