A retention clip for securing a trim piece to a vehicle. The retention clip includes a trim piece affixing portion, a first leg member, and second leg member that extends from a head portion. The trim piece affixing portion is defined by at least one pair of grips that includes a plurality of retention barbs. Each first and second leg member is defined by a first leg portion, an intermediate knee portion, and a second leg portion. Each second leg portion is defined by a first and second length and a first and second deployment angle, respectively. The retention clip has a resilient retention feature that allows the retention clip to deform inwardly to during installation, then outwardly when affixing a trim piece to a vehicle in order to provide a perpendicular biasing force and a later, outboard biasing force.

The tool mount apparatus of claim 2 including clamp means on said threaded socket end portion of the coupler body member for releasably clamping the threaded socket of the coupler body member into increased frictional threaded engagement with the threaded shaft of an extension pole member to prevent unintentional unthreading movement between the coupler body member and the threaded shaft of the extension pole member. 4. The tool mount apparatus of claim 1 wherein said tool handle end member is configured as a fixed, integrated element of the hand tool handle construction forming the rear terminal end portion of a hand tool handle. 5. The tool mount assembly of claim 1 wherein said tool handle end member is configured as an adapter body member having a forwardly projecting threaded shaft configured for threaded mounting engagement onto the rear terminal end of the hand tool handle having a threaded internal bore extending axially inwardly from its rear terminal end. 6. The tool mount assembly of claim 1 including a mounting bracket configured at one end for attachment to the threaded tool mount shaft of an extension pole member and configured at the opposite end of the mounting bracket for pivotal attachment to the coupler body member intermediate said opposite longitudinal end portions of the coupler body member for rotation of the coupler body member on said pivotal attachment about an axis extending substantially perpendicular to the axial line of extension of an extension pole attached to the mounting bracket, and releasable securing means interengages the coupler body member and mounting bracket for releasably securing the coupler body member in selected positions of rotational adjustment on the mounting bracket and thereby in selected positions of angular adjustment relative to the axial line of extension of an extension pole member attached to the mounting bracket. 7. The tool mount assembly of claim 6 wherein the other, opposite longitudinal end portion of the coupler body member is configured as an axially projecting, threaded shaft configured for threaded connection to a hand tool handle having a threaded internal bore extending axially inwardly from its rear terminal end. said bristle head is uncovered and displaced a sufficient distance from said housing and said cover portions to permit said bristle head to be inserted into a mouth of a user gripping said housing and used by the user to brush the user's teeth; said covet portions operatively interacting with said toothbrush handle such that, responsive to said toothbrush handle being moved from the retracted position toward the extended position, said cover portions are moved to their respective open positions to permit said bristle head to extend toward said extended position; and said cover portions operatively interacting with said toothbrush handle such that, subsequent to said cover portions moving to their respective open positions and responsive to said toothbrush handle being moved further toward the extended position, said cover portions are moved toward their respective closed positions. 2. The toothbrush and enclosure therefore according to claim 1 further comprising a releasable lock to keep said toothbrush handle and said bristle head in said extended position during brushing. 3. The toothbrush and enclosure therefore according to claim 1, wherein said cover portions operatively interact with said toothbrush handle such that, subsequent to said cover portions moving to their respective open positions and responsive to said toothbrush handle being moved further toward the extended position, said cover portions are moved to their respective closed positions, thereby closing said cover portions about said toothbrush handle in said extended position. 4. The toothbrush and enclosure therefore according to claim 1, wherein said cover portions are moved to their respective open positions responsive to a relatively small amount of initial movement of said toothbrush handle from the refracted position toward the extended position. 5. The toothbrush and enclosure therefore according to claim 1, further comprising a guide affixed to said toothbrush handle, said guide extending through said housing to allow movement of said toothbrush handle between said retracted and extended positions. 6. The toothbrush and enclosure therefore according to claim 1, further comprising a guide tube affixed to an end of said toothbrush handle opposite the bristle head, said guide tube extending generally parallel to said toothbrush handle and extending through said housing to allow movement of said toothbrush handle between said retracted and extended positions. 7. The toothbrush and enclosure therefore according to claim 1, said cover portions being further characterized by providing an opening while in their respective closed positions, permitting said cover portions to close about said toothbrush handle in said extended position, so that said closed position for said cover portions with said toothbrush handle in said extended position is substantially the same as said closed position for said cover portions with said toothbrush handle in said retracted position. 8. A toothbrush and an enclosure therefore comprising: a housing having a plurality of cover portions at a top end thereof, at least one of said cover portions being movable between open and closed positions and being biased into their respective closed positions, the toothbrush having a toothbrush handle and a bristle head at one end thereof, said toothbrush handle movable within said housing between (a) a refracted position in which said toothbrush handle and said bristle head are substantially enclosed by said housing and said cover portions and (b) an extended position in which said bristle head is uncovered and displaced a sufficient distance from said housing and said cover portions to permit said bristle head to be inserted into a mouth of a user gripping said housing and used by the user to brush the user's teeth; said cover portions having at least one control arm extending therefrom, said at least one control arm extending into said housing a substantial way into said housing;
