Abstract:
1. A bendable extension arm for extending a user's reach while at least one tool is connected, said extension arm comprising: A. a deformable stiffening wire sufficiently deformable to be easily deformed by the hands of said user but stiff enough to resist further bending in the course of tool usage, said stiffening wire defining a first end and a second end, B. a first wire receptor attached to said first end, said first end comprising an attachment means for attaching a tool, C. a second wire receptor attached to said second end, D. a sheath covering said stiffening wire for preventing over bending of said stiffening wire, and E. two ferrules attaching together said stiffening wire, said sheath and said first wire receptor and said second wire receptor, wherein said extension arm may be bent by hands of said user into desired shapes up to a bending limit determined by said sheath but remain stiff enough in said desired shapes to resist further bending during tool usage, and wherein substantially all resistance to bending during tool usage below said bending limit is provided by said stiffening wire.
