Abstract

Our invention generally provides an extension handle which attaches to hand-power tools, more particularly, nail guns, and not only increases the distance between the hand-power tool and the operator's hand, but also provides a remote triggering mechanism which controls the triggering mechanism on the hand-power tool. Our extension handle generally includes a handle, an adjustable extension arm, a device to attach and position the extension arm to the hand-power tool, and a remote triggering mechanism to allow engagement and disengagement of the triggering mechanism of the hand-power tool from the handle of the extension handle.
