  By the way, in the case of the conventional working tool, the actual usage mode of the tool connected to the tip of the other rod has a predetermined angle with respect to the object to be processed so that the intended work can be performed. It is essential to be fixed. Regarding the fixing of the tool, it is desirable for the operator to fix the other rod (tool) at a desired angular position by operating the insulating operating rod. However, the conventional working tool is configured such that the position can be fixed at the connecting portion of one rod and the other rod, but the other rod can be moved at a desired angular position by operating the insulating operation rod. The position is not fixed.

  Therefore, in view of the above-described problems, the present invention performs a required operation smoothly and reliably by securely fixing a tool rotatably supported at the tip of the operation rod at a desired angular position by a hand operation.

It is configured so that the base 4a of the operation rod 2 can perform a position fixing operation for fixing the connecting portion 4, the operation rod 2 and the connection body 3 that rotate relative to each other at a desired angular position, and a release operation for releasing the position fixing. The operation mechanism unit 5 is provided.

  In this case, since the operation rod 2 and the connection body 3 are connected to each other so as to be relatively rotatable in a state in which the distal end portion 2b of the operation rod 2 and the base end portion 3a of the connection body 3 are biased in the direction away from each other. With the operation rod 2 fixed, the distal end portion 3c of the connection body 3 circularly moves, swings and rotates with the base end 3a of the connection body 3 as a fulcrum, or the connection body 3 is fixed. The base end portion 2a of the operating rod 2 rotates, swings and rotates with the distal end portion 2b of the operating rod 2 as a fulcrum, and the operating rod 2 and the connecting body 3 rotate, swing and rotate relative to each other. Will be able to. That is, the operation rod 2 and the connection body 3 can be freely rotated, and various operations can be dealt with.
