SNOW REMOVAL DEVICE
A snow removal device comprising an accumulation surface for receiving snow when in use, with one or more rigid sections extending from or connected to the accumulation surface to form a V shaped plow. The accumulation surface may be attached to a support shaft which may include an additional handle to produce a manually operated snow shovel. Alternatively, a bracket mounted to the inward facing surface of the V shaped plow may connect the snow removal device to a granular spreader apparatus. The V shaped plow may include a deflector, of various shape, integrally attached at the leading apex of the plow. Additionally, the outward facing surface of the V shaped plow may utilize a concave shape that may increase along a gradient as it gets closer to the distal ends of the plow and/or as it gets closer to the top edge or the bottom edge of the plow.
Configurable hand tool system with interchangeable work heads
A multi-use hand tool system featuring modular interchangeable components including a digging and cutting head, a rake head; a claw hammer head, a snow shovel head; a garden fork head comprising, one or more hafts, an offset-L component providing a 90 degree orientation between components and/or and handle. The hand tool system features components and grips having a Reuleaux triangle configuration.

SNOW SHOVEL WITH BOX SUPPORT STRUCTURE
The invention involves a support structure for securing a handle member to the blade portion of a snow shovel or snow pusher. The support structure includes an enclosed and contoured box portion having separated walls integrally formed to one another supporting the connection between the handle member and the blade portions of the shovel assembly. The box support structure provides lightweight multidirectional support while preventing build-up of snow and ice from the combined assembly. The support structure allows the blade member to be formed flat and smooth for low resistance operation for snow and ice removal.

VEHICLE SNOW REMOVAL DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE
A vehicle snow removal device is disclosed. With the new product being made of rigid material, and having a closed sided, concave shape, the vehicle can be easily cleaned. With the long handle member provided, the user does not get their hands in the snow and can remove snow from entire surface area of the vehicle.
COMBINATION TOOL FOR USE WITH ICE AND SNOW
A combination tool for use with ice and snow is provided to perform a plurality of different functions with as device. The combination tool includes a shovel that can also serve as a traction pad that grips a tire that has lost traction in the snow. The shovel has a scoop near its forward end that has an apex of an arcuate profile configured to align a tire with lugs on a vehicle. The shovel may be reinforced with a plurality of strengthening ribs or gussets to support the weight of snow during shoveling actions and support the weight of vehicles when used as a traction pad. The shovel may be formed as a monolithic uniform unibody member. A brush may be provided to enable the combination tool to have a first configuration with the brush and shovel nested together and a second configuration where they are connected end-to-end.

Device, system, and method for shoveling and shaping snow
A handheld scooping and shaping device comprising a snow shaping section, a first hollow rigid shaft segment, a plurality of additional hollow rigid shaft segments, and a handle. The snow shaping section comprises a scooping panel, back panel, first sidewall, second sidewall, and bottom panel. The scooping panel comprises a distal end having a plurality of teeth extending outwardly. The back panel opposes the scooping panel. The first sidewall opposes the second sidewall. The bottom panel is coupled or integrated to the scooping panel, back panel, first sidewall and second sidewall. The first hollow rigid shaft segment is removably coupled to the snow shaping section. The plurality of additional hollow rigid shaft segments are configured to nest within at either the first hollow rigid shaft segment or an additional hollow rigid shaft segment. The handle is coupled or integrated to one of the additional hollow rigid shaft segments.
