ABSTRACT:
A bushing for connecting a tool head with a tapered eye to a fiberglass tool handle. The bushing, formed in two sections, is mounted around and over a tongue on the distal end of the handle and is configured externally to be wedged by driving the bushing and handle in proximal direction to the eye of the tool head. Complementary double tapers on the tongue and the corresponding interior surface of the bushing are pressed into engagement when the bushing is driven into place in the tool head. The tapers on the tongue hold the bushing longitudinally in place on the handle. Spacers having the double tapered shape and/or flexible shims are provided for expanding the bushing to adapt it to fit larger eyes and to accommodate manufacturing tolerances of the tool eye hole. The cross sections of the eye and bushing are ovate with the major axis of such oval shape perpendicular to a striking face on said head.
