Abstract: A stop device for placement over the extreme end of an elongated handle of the type used for a broom, mop, rake, or the like, which has a frictional outer surface so that when the handle is placed in an upright position against a vertical wall it is prevented from sliding off the wall to the floor or ground. The device is in the form of a sleeve having a circumferential score line medially thereon so that the sleeve can be severed along the score line to provide two separate stop members, either of which can be used with an elongated handle.
