Abstract

The present invention relates to a lighted pick tool. The lighted pick tool includes a lighted pick tool, comprising a handle; a pick tool extending from the handle; and a light mounted in the handle and arranged to direct light toward a distal end of the pick tool, and further including a power source within the handle operable to selectively activate the light.

Claims (8)

1. A lighted pick tool, comprising:

a handle;

a pick tool extending from the handle; and

a light mounted in the handle and arranged to direct light toward a distal end of the pick tool, and further including a power source within the handle operable to selectively activate the light, wherein the handle has a generally round circumference and a laterally extending portion extending beyond the circumference, wherein the light is mounted in the laterally extending portion and wherein the pick tool has a shaft and a point, wherein the point is angled relative to the shaft, and the point extends radially in alignment with the laterally extending portion.

2. The tool of claim 1 , wherein the pick tool is a substantially elongate shaft having a pick defined at a distal end by a first bend in the shaft away from a longitudinal axis of the shaft, a second bend back toward the longitudinal axis of the shaft, and a tapering portion distal of the second bend and terminating in the point.

3. The tool of claim 2 , wherein the light is arranged to direct light along a path having a center which is spaced from the point.

4. The tool of claim 3 , wherein each of the first bend and the second bend is defined by a corner.

5. The tool of claim 4 , wherein the elongate shaft extends co-planar with the longitudinal axis through the first bend in the shaft and the second bend, and terminates in a single end defining the point.
