1. A hand tool, comprising: a handle at a handle end of an elongated main body;an arcuate shaped contact surface on a base end of the elongated main body opposite the handle end;a support strut extending laterally from the elongated main body; anda connection structure secured to a distal end of the support strut between the handle end and the contact surface, wherein the connection structure is discrete and is configured to fit into the support strut, wherein the connection structure is rotationally fixed with respect to the support strut, the connection structure comprising a recess disposed in a perimeter of the connection structure, the recess defining a connection structure hook or a connection structure horn cleat, and an adjustment mechanism configured to permit adjustment of the connection structure toward and away from the elongated main body;the hand tool effective to permit a range of motion of the handle and the connection structure within a plane, the range of motion including: a hand tool neutral position where the handle is disposed in a handle neutral position directly above a pivot point on the contact surface and where the connection structure is in a connection structure neutral position,a hand tool first position where the handle is disposed on a first side of the handle neutral position and in a handle first position that is vertically lower than the handle neutral position, and where the connection structure is in a connection structure first position vertically higher than the connection structure neutral position, anda hand tool second position where the handle is disposed on a second side of the handle neutral position and the handle and the connection structure are in respective second positions that are vertically lower than respective neutral positions. 2. The hand tool of claim 1, wherein the pivot point moves along a continuous section of the contact surface when the handle is moved along the range of motion. 3. The hand tool of claim 2, wherein the support strut spans from a first end of the arcuate shaped base end to the elongated main body at a point between the arcuate shaped base end and the handle. 4. The hand tool of claim 1, wherein the connection structure adjustment mechanism is secured to a second end of the base end and to the elongated main body at a point between the handle and the base end. 5. The hand tool of claim 1, wherein the connection structure further comprises the connection structure horn cleat. 6. The hand tool of claim 5, wherein in the hand tool neutral position the connection structure horn cleat is oriented upright. 7. The hand tool of claim 6, the connection structure further comprising the connection structure hook integrated into the connection structure horn cleat. 8. The hand tool of claim 7, wherein the connection structure further comprises a first tab adjacent the horn cleat, and wherein in the hand tool neutral position the first tab and the horn cleat form a first recess opening downward. 9. The hand tool of claim 8, wherein the connection structure further comprises a second tab adjacent the horn cleat, and wherein in the hand tool neutral position the second tab and the horn cleat form a second recess opening upward, wherein the first recess and the second recess cooperate to form a spool shape. 10. The hand tool of claim 9, wherein the first recess and the second recess cooperate to form a flat spool shape. 11. The hand tool of claim 7, further comprising connection structure friction features disposed on the tab. 12. A hand tool, comprising: a handle at a handle end of an elongated main body;an arcuate shaped contact surface on a base end of the elongated main body opposite the handle end;a support strut extending laterally from the elongated main body; anda connection structure secured to a distal end of the support strut between the handle end and the arcuate shaped contact surface, the connection structure comprising a horn cleat and a first and a second recess, wherein the connection structure and the at least one of the hook and the horn cleat are rotationally fixed with respect to the elongated main body, and wherein the first and second recess cooperate to form a flat spool shape oriented parallel to the handle;wherein the handle is positioned on a concave side of the arcuate shaped contact surface along a line perpendicular to a tangent of the arcuate shaped contact surface. 13. The hand tool of claim 12, wherein the connection structure is adjustable toward or away from the elongated main body. 14. The hand tool of claim 13, wherein the connection structure is discrete and is configured to fit into the support strut in a first orientation and in a second orientation where the connection structure horn cleat is rotated 180 degrees from the first orientation. 15. The hand tool of claim 12, wherein the elongated main body comprises a shaft that traverses the base end, wherein the base end comprises an arcuate shape that defines the arcuate shaped contact surface, and where the connection structure is disposed at a second end of the arcuate shaped base end. 16. The hand tool of claim 15, wherein the connection structure is in an adjustably positionable relationship with the support strut, and wherein the support strut spans between the second end of the arcuate shaped base end and the shaft. 17. The hand tool of claim 12, wherein the connection structure comprises the connection structure horn cleat and a connection structure tab disposed adjacent the connection structure horn cleat to form a connection structure recess. 18. A hand tool, comprising: a handle at a handle end of an elongated main body;an arcuate shaped contact surface on a base end of the elongated main body opposite the handle end;a support strut extending laterally from the elongated main body; anda rigid connection structure rigidly secured to a distal end of the support strut, between the handle end and the arcuate shaped contact surface, the connection structure comprising a hook and a horn cleat;wherein the handle is positioned on a concave side of the arcuate shaped contact surface along a line perpendicular to a tangent of the arcuate shaped contact surface. 19. The hand tool of claim 18, wherein the connection structure horn cleat comprises two horns, and wherein the connection structure hook is disposed between the horn cleats on a side opposite the elongated main body.
