ABSTRACT:
A flexible auxiliary handle having an elongate member having a hand grip portion associated with a first end and an attaching portion associated with a second end wherein the elongate member provides for torsion or bending or both in response to motions and forces applied to the grip portion. The elongate member is typically advantageously comprised of one or more segments having characteristics enabling such action. The flexible handle ergonomically allows the gripping hand to move freely while the implement's tool maintains orientation to the ground without undue need for balancing, or for avoiding or performing certain undesirable movements customary with auxiliary handles. Such auxiliary handle is attractive, lightweight, cost effective to manufacture, has many configurations, conserves implement storage and retail space, installs and adjusts without tools, fits a wide variety of implements, enables conventional implement use, remains within easy grasp of the user, and is pleasurable to own.
