Abstract: A telescoping cleaning tool adapted to remove debris and the like from a poorly accessible surface. The tool includes telescoping inner and outer tubes wherein one end of one of the tubes is adapted to receive air under pressure, as from an air nozzle, and the opposite end of the other tube is provided with a sharpened edge for scraping debris and the like from a surface. An orifice is provided adjacent the sharpened edge for directing the air under pressure against such debris. The one tube is preferably provided with a handle near its air-receiving end so that an operator may grasp the handle with the fingers and press the air-receiving end into an air nozzle held in the palm of the hand, thereby permitting the tool to be used with one hand only. Upon application of air pressure, the tube bearing the sharpened edge is caused to extend axially outwardly of the other tube, and the air under pressure is directed through the orifice in the end of the extended tube so as to blow away debris from a surface as the same is loosened by scraping with the sharpened edge. Means are provided to prevent the member having the sharpened edge from completely escaping, when extended, from the other member.
