Abstract: Head indicia to indicate tool type which is integrally formed on the handle portion of the tool. The indicia is a symbol which emulates the configuration of the tool head and which indicates the orientation of the tool head. The indicia can be recessed into or raised from the surface of the handle to provide tactile identity of the configuration and orientation of the tool head. The indicia provides the user with an efficient way to select the correct tool and tool head type from a group of tools or from a set of tools held in a tool belt or pouch.
