Abstract

A hand tool facilitating removal of cobwebs and the like from ceilings, walls, baseboards and furniture without smudging the same and without the necessity of stooping or standing on an elevated support to accomplish the same. The tool is comprised of a circular base with a pair of opposing tracks or recesses provided therein adapted to engage and support a complementary nose piece thereon. The nose piece in turn has a lining or covering of flocking to attract cobwebs, dust and dirt, etc., and a plurality of spaced semi-circular projections along the exterior to prevent the entire surface from contacting and soiling the wall while in use. A socket is provided for receiving a handle to manipulate the same.
