ABSTRACT:
A detachable and adjustable auxiliary handle for a long-handled material-moving tool includes a handle bracket having a first leg portion with an end attached to a first foot portion which is curved to fitting mount upon the handle shaft of a shovel, and further having a second leg portion which is integral to the first leg portion and extends at an acute angle relative to the first leg portion and has an end which is attached to a second foot portion which is curved to fitting mount upon the handle shaft of a shovel, and further has three holes aligned and spaced long the length thereof. A generally U-shaped hand-hold support member is adjustably fastened to the second leg portion upon any of the three holes and supports a hand-hold member which is fastened between the two extension portions of the hand-hold support member. The auxiliary handle is fastenable anywhere along the length of the handle shaft of the shovel but preferably near the scoop to essentially eliminate the user having to stoop and incurring back problems as a result.
