An adjustable handle assembly (10) is provided for use with a hand-held power tool (12), such as a polisher, to enhance control while operating on delicate surfaces of varying contours. The handle assembly (10) includes a handle (30) mounted to the housing (14) of the tool (12) in a manner that facilitates quick adjustment of the handle (30) between various predetermined positions relative to the housing (14) without the use of tools, turning of nuts and bolts and prolonged work stoppage. The handle assembly (10) also includes lock members (48) on one of the handle (30) and the housing (14) and lock receiving grooves (50) on the other of the handle (30) and housing (14) which can cooperate with the lock members (48) to fix the handle (30) in one of the predetermined positions relative to the housing (14).
