Abstract

A hand tool for squeezing or pressing down over an area with a roller. The tool includes a roller support structure with an elongate member having a first end, a mid-portion, and a second end, a roller support extending from the first end of the elongate member, a handle extending from the mid-portion of the elongate member, and a forearm engagement member. The handle will preferably be detachable from the roller support structure. A roller support frame with a substantially horizontal member and a roller support axis, and an adjustable connection that allows the user to selectively retaining the horizontal member against the roller support member at a desired angle to the roller support member, so that the angle of the roller support axis relative to the roller support member may be varied. Additionally, the removable handle is adapted for direct attachment to the roller support frame to allow use of the roller support frame together with the handle and without the roller support structure.
