JOB-SITE TOOL
A job-site tool in one aspect of the present disclosure includes and a display. The display is configured to display information regarding the job-site tool. The display includes a circuit board, at least one light emitter, an electric conduction member, at least one lens, and a resin member. The at least one lens is provided on the circuit board to cover the at least one light emitter. The resin member includes a lens cover area that covers surroundings of the at least one lens to thereby secure the at least one lens to the circuit board, and an electric conduction cover area that covers the electric conduction member.
SCRAPER GLOVE
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.
Power rake devices
A dethatcher includes a frame having front and rear ends and a handle extending from the frame rear end. Wheels are coupled to the frame, and a cutting reel is housed in the frame. An engine is included for powering the cutting reel. In one embodiment, a bottom of the engine is below a top of the cutting reel when the cutting reel is in use. In another embodiment, the cutting reel is located between the engine and the frame front end. Another dethatcher has sequentially from a rear end: a handle, an engine, a cutting reel powered by the engine, and a bagger for collecting debris from the cutting reel.
Cutting web
Systems and methods for cutting grass and other materials using a disk-shaped cutting web are disclosed. The cutting web has a center portion that is attachable to a rotating shaft adapter. The center portion may be a solid annular disk having a keyed aperture that allows it to be mounted on a spindle of a rotating shaft adapter. The cutting web has multiple strings that are connected to the center portion and extend outward from it in a generally radial direction (away from the center of the disk). The strings intersect with each other to form junctions at which they are joined, thereby forming a web that can be rotated at high speed to perform a cutting function. The strings of the web can have sharp or serrated edges and may be colored to increase the visibility of the web.
DETHATCHER SYSTEMS AND METHODS
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.
Micro-tiller module
A micro-tiller module that is releasibly engageable with a hand drill can include a gear box assembly, first and second tilling wheel assemblies, and a stabilizer fork. The gear box assembly can include a housing, an input shaft extending along an input shaft axis, first and second output shafts, and a plurality of gears. The external end of the input shaft is configured to be releasibly engageable with a chuck of the hand drill. The tilling wheel assemblies can be respectively mounted to the output shafts. The stabilizer fork can extend from a base end fixed to the housing, along a stabilizer axis transverse to the input shaft axis, to a distal end from which first and second tines project. Each of the tines can extend further along the input shaft axis than transverse to the input shaft axis.
Double-Handle Apparatus
A double-handle apparatus includes a cleaning apparatus, a primary support shaft, a secondary support shaft, and a handle. The primary support shaft, which functions similar to traditional handle shaft, includes a shaft body and a three-way connector section. A first shaft end of the shaft body is concentrically mounted within a mounting body of the cleaning apparatus. A second shaft end of the shaft body is concentrically integrated to a second connector section of the three-way connector, wherein the shaft body can be a straight or curved singular body, a straight telescopic body, or a straight modular body. The handle is adjacently connected to a first connector section of the three-way connector. The secondary support shaft is concentrically integrated to a third connector section of the three-way connector.
HAND TOOLS HAVING A PROTECTIVE HAND GUARD
Hand tools having a hand guard for protecting a user's working hand are provided. In one embodiment, the hand tool may be a paint roller that includes a roller assembly having a proximal end and an opposite distal end, and a hand guard attached to the roller assembly. The roller assembly may include a handle portion extending from the proximal end of the roller assembly, and a support portion extending from the distal end of the roller assembly to the handle portion. The support portion may include a support arm assembly attached to the handle portion and a cover support positioned at the distal end of the roller assembly and rotatably attached to the support arm assembly. The hand guard may be positioned over a top surface of the handle portion and may include a plurality of walls defining an interior space configured to receive a user's hand therein.

Handle for a Tool
A handle for a tool that provides multiple gripping locations for a user to grasp and manipulate the tool. The handle includes a main shaft, a first extension that extends outward from a first location along the main shaft, and a second extension that extends outward from a second location along the main shaft. The handle provides multiple gripping locations along one or more of the main shaft, the first extension, and the second extension.
