A locking knuckle-type joint pivotably interconnects first and second members that are moveable at least along an axis intersecting the joint and pivotable at least about the axis between selected locked positions. The joint includes first and second complementary, interlockable faces on the first and second members, respectively, and a respective plurality of mating teeth on each of the faces. Each tooth has a peak edge extending substantially radially from the center point, and each pair of adjacent teeth defines a valley edge extending substantially radially from the center point between the adjacent teeth. The first and second faces are oppositely disposed at the joint and are adapted for substantially mating contact with one another. The joint also includes a screw for adjusting the distance along the axis between the oppositely disposed first and second complementary, interlockable faces on the first and second members for removably interlocking the first and second members into one of a plurality of angular orientations relative to one another. The joint couples handles or other fittings to a pair of gripper jaw portions to facilitate gripping a polishing stone or other tool. The joint also couples a tool head to a handle to define a more general modular tool.
