Abstract: Provided is a multi-functional tool that includes two elongated bars. When the tool is in a push configuration, the bars are pivotally connected by a collar mechanism to define an obtuse angle between the bars, with each bar having a foot end extending from the obtuse angle. A force properly applied to the pivot point, for example, increases the magnitude of the obtuse angle thereby forcing the foot ends away from each other, whereby mechanical objects engaged by the foot ends are moved away from each other. When the tool is in a pull configuration, the two elongated bars are connected by the collar mechanism such that they are generally parallel and such that the foot ends thereof extend from the collar in the same general direction, with one foot end extending further from the collar than the other foot end.

Abstract: A hair cutting and trimming apparatus includes an elongated hollow tube atop which is a hollow head member having a width which is considerably larger than its height. The hollow interiors of the tube and head are in flow communication so that suction applied to the bottom of the tube draws air into the open forward end of the head. Mounting means are provided on the outside of the tube for an electric clipper positioned so that its teeth extend into the head through a suitably provided slit opening in the under side of the head. The longitudinal axis of the tube and the length dimension of the head form an angle in the range of 90.degree. to 120.degree. to permit a user to hold the open forward end of the head adjacent a scalp without having to raise the user's elbow and arm to an uncomfortable position. A plurality of extenders of different length are adapted to fit under the forward end of the head member to permit selective adjustment of the length of hair cut by the clipper teeth.
