ABSTRACT:
A process for releasably attaching a tool handle to a tool head includes the steps of (1) inserting an end of the tool handle into the tool head through a tool head aperture, (2) turning the end of the tool handle relative to the tool head to engage a pair of lands therein which prevent withdrawal of the end of the tool handle from the tool head, and (3) threading a nut onto the tool handle so as to engage a portion of the tool head adjacent to the aperture. The process is accomplished by providing the handle a connecting stud at one end thereof, wherein the connecting stud includes a pair of oppositely disposed flanges which extend generally perpendicularly outwardly therefrom. The tool head has a central cavity into which the connecting stud is inserted through the aperture. The pair of lands are capable of selectively engaging the connecting stud flanges to prevent withdrawal of the connecting stud from the tool head. The nut is threadable onto the connecting stud and has a face for engaging a portion of the tool head adjacent to the aperture to prevent movement of the connecting stud relative to the tool head and to thereby releasably secure the tool head to the handle.
