Patent 8032990 was granted and assigned to Makita on October, 2011 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A handle for a tool includes a handle body, an operation device and a pair of clamp halves. The operation device has an operation member operable by an operator. At least one of the clamp halves can move relative to the handle body along an axis. As the operation member is operated, the one of the handle halves moves along the axis, so that the distance between the handle halves can be changed for clamping or releasing a portion of the tool.
