Abstract
A tool guide enables the earth or other surfaces to support the weight of a portable tool without using wheels or casters while providing a unique combination of adjustments positioning portable tools such as hedge trimmers to trim hedges or shrubs accurately. A first set of telescoping tubes is hinge coupled to one end of a second set of telescoping tubes. The other end of the second set of telescoping tubes rests and pivots upon the earth providing weight support and unique arc and rotational adjustment for the portable tool. The portable tool is mounted onto one end of a first set of telescoping tubes with a tool to handle adapter. An electrical cord is inserted through a portable tool handle extension and connects to the portable tool. A locking adjustment on the second set of telescoping tubes controls height adjustment.
