ABSTRACT:
A full motion leverage enhancing grip assembly for attachment to an elongate handle of a shovel or similar tool is described. The leverage enhancing grip comprising a substantially semi-ellipsoid gripping portion, in planar alignment with the tool handle, extending distally outward from the tool handle relative to the user; a substantially linear attachment portion for engaging the elongate handle of a tool, where the linear attachment portion intersects the gripping portion to form an angle of intersection; and at least one J-clamp and at least one adjustment knob securely placed in a knob housing. The adjustment knob having a hole substantially in the center to receive a threaded rod, the rod being connected at one end to the J-clamp. The rotation of the adjustment knob about its axis within the knob housing, causes the threaded rod and the J-clamp attached to it, to be moved linearly parallel to the axis of the threaded rod, within the hole of the adjustment knob.
