Abstract: A flexible cleaning tool for cleaning corrosion from the contact arms and barrel of electrical jacks in which the structural integrity of the contact arm necessitates a reduction in the displacement of the contact arm during the cleaning process. A low density polyethylene shaft, having one or more diameter reductions, is inserted into the jack and manipulated by moving the handle, whereby the flexibility of the shaft allows the shaft to bear upon the jack contact arms and jack barrel interior in a manner which is highly conducive to efficient and thorough cleaning. When the shaft diameter is reduced at the point of contact, the displacement of the contact arm by the shaft is reduced. The dislodged corrosion attaches to the shaft allowing the corrosion to be transported from the interior of the jack enclosure where it can be easily washed from the shaft.

Abstract: About a rigid longitudinal extension a sleeve is frictionally suspended such that the extension may reciprocate freely within the sleeve while remaining relatively stationary longitudinally. The rear end of the extension is attachable to a reciprocating portable power tool and the forward end is attached to a tool head. In operation, the extension and the tool head reciprocate while the sleeve, grasped in one hand, is frictionally isolated from the reciprocation and consequently insulated from the vibration associated with the operation of a portable reciprocating portable power tool. A coupling upon the forward end of the extension facilitates the attachment of a variety of different tool ends. Frictional suspension of the sleeve about the extension by using a pair of springs or by using bearings between the sleeve and the extension is suggested.
