A dethatcher includes a frame having a front and a rear end, a handle coupled to the frame and movable between a use position and a storage position, multiple wheels coupled to the frame, a cutting reel housed in the frame, and an engine for powering a drive mechanism of the shaft. The cutting reel includes a shaft having a first end and a second end, at least one cutting mechanism located between the first end and the second end of the shaft, and the drive mechanism for powering the shaft. When the handle is in the use position, the handle extends away from the front end of the frame and when the handle is in the storage position the handle extends toward the front end of the frame.

A scraper glove is provided and includes a glove body including one or more finger sleeves; and one or more scraper elements. Each of the scraper elements includes a receptacle portion positioned within a respective one of the finger sleeves to accept one or more fingers of a user, and a scraping portion with one or more scraping edges extending from a tip of a corresponding finger sleeve and integrally connected to the corresponding receptacle portion, wherein the scraping portion is configured to scrape a plant-based medium.

A handheld gardening tool includes a power source, a spike projection device adapted to roughen soil for the application of grass seeds or to ease pulling weeds, and a support arm connecting the power source to the spike projection device. The spike projection device comprises a housing supporting a plurality of spikes mounted within the housing for controlled extension from and retraction within the housing for engagement with soil.

A dethatcher includes a frame having front and rear ends, a cover coupled to the frame and configured to selectively move between an open position and a closed position, a handle extending from the frame, multiple wheels coupled to the frame, a cutting reel housed in the frame, and an engine for powering a drive mechanism of the shaft. The cutting reel includes a shaft having a first end and a second end, at least one cutting mechanism located between the first end and the second end of the shaft, and the drive mechanism for powering the shaft. When the cover is in the open position, a user may access the cutting reel from a top end of the frame.

The invention relates to agricultural manual implements with teeth, particularly to operating elements of hand cultivators.

The operating element 2 of the cultivator 1 contains distributed spiral teeth 3, forming an open circular profile 4 in the plan. The spiral teeth 3 are connected in the upper part to each other in the shape of a regular polygon 5, while the pointed part 6 of the spiral tooth 3 smoothly passes into its remaining cylindrical part 7. The tilt angle of the spiral teeth 3 to the horizon is =25-45, the sharpening angle of the teeth is =20-40, the angle of rotation of the full penetration of the tooth 3 is =40-120, and the thickness of the cutting edge 7 of the spiral tooth 3 is h=1-3 mm. The invention allows to reduce the fatigue of human muscles during loosening due to easy penetration of the operating element 2 of the cultivator 1 into the soil when it is installed on the soil at the angle =60-90 to the horizon while minimizing premature soil subsidence, eliminating the need to repeat cultivation of the same plot.

Systems and methods for using interchangeable tool attachments in multi-use tools. In one embodiment, a multi-use tool includes a motor, a shaft and a shaft adapter at the end of the shaft. The motor has user controls (e.g., on/off switch or throttle) that control the motor to drive the shaft and cause it to rotate. The shaft may include a rigid tubular outer member with a flexible inner shaft. The shaft adapter is coupled to the end of the rotating portion of the shaft. The shaft adapter has a mounting flange that rotates with the adapter at the end of the shaft. An interchangeable tool attachment is secured to the mounting flange, and rotation of the shaft adapter and mounting flange causes the tool attachment to rotate as well. Many different tool attachments can be interchangeably secured to the mounting flange to provide corresponding, different functions to the tool.
