  • Patent number: 5806902
    Abstract: This grip in it's unique design enhances the manipulation of resilient or rope like material in such fields of endeavor as Pruning. Prior to its creation, rope has to be wrapped around a user's hand or knotted around a wood handle to obtain enough tension to activate the cutting blade on the pruner. In the former procedure, the rope could escape from the user's hand and in the latter the wood handle might not be in the right position for a comfortable process. The grip moves along the length with ease as the pole is extended or contracted and with a simple wrist movement and finger pressure locks the rope instantly and places the grip in a position for using the maximum tension possible by the user.
