ABSTRACT:
A shock-absorbing telescoping tool handle is disclosed having a larger diameter proximal portion and a smaller diameter distal portion. An internal spring in the handle portions is compressed when the handle portions telescope towards each other upon shock being applied to the tool handle. Guide mechanisms in the handle portion limit the extent of sliding motion between the handle portion and prevent relative motion of the handle portions. One or more wipers in the handle portion wipes away any snow, water or debris on the distal portion which could potentially enter the spring area. The spring may be located within the proximal portion or the distal portion of the tool handle.
