Abstract

A handle for use with and/or for releasably coupling to an implement. The handle may include: a handgrip, an arm operatively coupled to the handgrip, and a collar operatively coupled to the arm remote from the handgrip. The collar may be configured to releasably receive a shaft of the implement. The collar may comprise two substantially opposing collar portions defining a shaft pathway, wherein the collar portions are displaced axially along the shaft pathway to form a keyway sized to receive the shaft when the shaft and the shaft pathway are substantially orthogonal to each other. A set of handles may also be provided, with one handle having a shorter arm length than the other.
