A tool connecting device has a first member extending along a first axis and has an internal cavity adjacent a first end and a threaded outer surface. A second member extends along a second axis and has a tool at a first end and a joint element at a second end. The joint element is pivotally mounted in the cavity of the first member. The second member has an angled surface intermediate the first and second ends. The angled surface is angled outwardly in a direction from the second to the first end. A sleeve is provided which has a threaded inner bore mounted on the threaded outer surface of the first member and is capable of moving along the first axis. The sleeve has a tapered leading end for contacting the angled surface of the second member. The sleeve is movable on the first member to multiple positions along the first axis each position allowing an angle between the second axis and the first axis to be limited to any angle between 0 degrees and approximately 45 degrees.
