A telescoping handle which is useful for a variety of broom, mop and shovel applications includes a first tubular handle portion having a first end and an inner open surface extending axially inwardly therein from the first end having a predetermined diameter and having at least one aperture surface which extends radially through the first handle portion into communication with the open surface. The telescoping handle includes an annular connector which is fixably disposed on the first end of the first tubular handle portion and includes an inner open surface axially positioned and having a smaller diameter with respect to the open surface of the first tubular portion, wherein the inner open surface of the connector includes at least one guide surface formed therein. A second handle portion is provided which includes an outer extruded surface coating configured in a complementary manner to the inner open surface and guide surface of the connector to be sidably received therethrough. The second handle portion includes a radially outward extendable button which is configured to be removably retainably disposed within the aperture surface of the first tubular handle portion when the second handle portion is disposed within the first tubular handle portion thus locking axial positions of the handle portions.
