Improved cooling systems for handheld devices are disclosed. In some aspects, the cooling system may utilize air inlets disposed behind a guard to prevent debris or liquids from entering the handheld device and potentially causing damage to internal components of the handheld device. In aspects, a vents may be disposed on the guard to divert cooling air into a housing of the handheld device to cool internal components, such as the motor or a printed circuit board (PCB). In additional or alternative aspects, a motor mount may be provided that includes ribs defining air channels to divert or direct cooling air to components to be cooled. The air channels provided by the motor mount may enable the cooling air to reach portions of the internal components that may be distant from the air inlets of the housing.

Hand tools having a hand guard for protecting a user's working hand are provided. In one embodiment, the hand tool may be a hand rake that includes a rake body having a proximal end and an opposite distal end and including a handle portion and a rake portion. The handle portion may extend from the proximal end of the rake body and include a finger opening configured to receive a user's fingers therethrough. The rake portion may extend from the distal end of the rake body to the handle portion and include a plurality of tines. A hand guard may be attached to the rake body and positioned over a top surface of the handle portion and may include a plurality of walls defining an interior space configured to receive the user's hand therein. In other embodiments, the hand tool may be a grabber or a paint roller.

The present invention provides an adjustable guided rake apparatus and method which enables an adjustable guided rake user to configure an adjustable rake guide to a specified height in relation to a secondary surface, which will then define the height of the grading edge of the grading rake head in relation to a primary surface. The adjustable guided rake user is able to move the grading rake head along a primary surface, in order to shift material along the surface, while the adjustable rake guide runs along the secondary surface, guiding the grading rake head.

A method of stacking dethatchers includes pivoting an upper portion of a handle on a first dethatcher toward a front end of a frame on the first dethatcher, upon pivoting the upper portion of the handle toward the front end of the frame, exposing a rear support point defined by a lower portion of the handle, and stacking a second dethatcher on the first dethatcher so that the second dethatcher is supported on the rear support point defined by the lower portion of the handle and a front support point defined by the upper portion of the handle.
