An improved rake includes a rake head coupled to a bar attached to the rake head. The rake head includes a set of spaced apart tines having an end distal from the rake head and configured to scoop debris from the ground in response to force being applied to the rake head via the bar such that the tines sift through grass and leaves and other debris ride up over the tines.

A rake may have a spade implement disposed adjacent to the tines. The spade implement may have a thin or sharpened edge and may have a convex edge running from the top to the bottom to facilitate the spade implement cutting portions of plants or of cutting into the ground to facilitate the removal of plants, rocks, etc. The spade implement may be welded or otherwise attached to one of the tines of the rake head, or may be formed integrally therewith.

A fruit picker includes first and second curved sections, a handle and a bag. The first and second curved sections are outwardly curved to form a leaf-shaped space therebetween. The first curved section and a second curved section are attached at a first end at a cutter angle. The handle is attached to the first and second curved sections at a second end. The bag is attached to the first and second curved sections with fixing elements. The leaf-shaped frame provides maneuverability of this tool within a cluster of fruit or tree branches, where an angled shape helps catching and holding fruit. The scissors-like tip offers efficiency in releasing fruit from its stem. Finally, this fruit picker boasts applicability to multiple kinds of fruit.

An interchangeable landscaping tool system including a landscaping tool having an elongated shaft, a rake head having a channel and a plurality of tines, and at least one interchangeable head having a base and an engaging-member. A first-end of the elongated shaft is provided as a handle of the tool and the rake head is positioned at a second-end of the elongated shaft during use. The channel extends along a top-edge of the rake head and is configured to slidably receive and removably engage one of the at least one interchangeable heads at the engaging-member for use. The engaging-member extends along a bottom-edge of the base of the at least one interchangeable head and is configured to mate with the channel extending along a top-edge of the rake head. The at least one interchangeable head includes a squeegee-head, a first-brush-head, and a second-brush-head.

A specifically configured gardening implement including an arced extension between the handle and the tool component. Such an implement permits greater versatility and facilitates typical gardening operations without losing any tool-using capabilities. Such an arced extension leads from a standard elongated, straight handle to the edge of a tool component, providing an ergonomic disposition of the tool in relation to the handle itself. In such a manner the arced extension allows for greater reach from a standing position, as well as the ability to adjust the actual handling of the overall implement to different angles without the need for uncomfortable and/or possibly. harmful repositioning by the user, as well. The inclusion of different tool components within the base handle/extension structure are also encompassed within the invention.
