A handheld lawn maintenance tool having a power head to which an adapter is attachable to allow both battery-powered and gasoline-powered working attachments to be attached thereto. The power head includes a power source, integrated first and second handles, a power generator, and a first attachment mechanism to which the adapter and/or working attachments are attachable.

A carrying device for carrying a hand-guided power tool by a user has a shoulder strap and a lateral leg plate with a connecting unit for coupling a power tool to the carrying device. A support strap is connected with one end to the shoulder strap and the leg plate is slidably arranged at the support strap to slide along the support strap in a longitudinal direction thereof. A fixation device is arranged between support strap and leg plate and has a release position and a blocking position. In the release position, the leg plate is slidable along the support strap; in the blocking position, the leg plate is non-slidably secured on the support strap. The blocking position is correlated with a first working mode of the power tool; the release position is correlated with a second working mode of the power tool.

A portable tool having an upright starting orientation in which the portable tool has a top and bottom, a front and rear, and laterally spaced sides. The portable tool has an elongate frame and is configured to be held with the user engaging: a) a first back region of the portable tool with one of the user's hands; and b) a second region of the portable tool forward of the first back region with the user's other hand to thereby allow the user to elevate and reposition the portable tool. A drive operates a working unit on the frame. The first back region and second region are spaced along a front-to-rear first line. A gripping assembly at the second region of the portable tool has an elongate gripping length extending in a second line. A first vertical plane parallel to the first line is non-orthogonal to a second vertical plane parallel to the second line. The elongate gripping length can be moved selectively forwardly and rearwardly relative to the frame.

A handheld power tool (1) is disclosed comprising a power tool body (3), a tool (2), a power source (4) configured to power the tool (2), a switch (10) configured to set the power tool (1) in an active-state or an inactive-state, and an elongated handle (20). The elongated handle (20) comprises a trigger element (30) being arranged movable relative the elongated handle (20) such that the trigger element (30) moves relative the handle (20) when a person grips the handle (20). The switch (10) is arranged at the power tool body (3). The power tool (1) comprises a mechanism (7) operably connected to the trigger element (30). The mechanism (7) is configured such that a first mechanism member (11) of the mechanism (7) is moved in a direction (d1) towards the switch (10) when the handle (20) is gripped.

The present invention is directed to a rigid, blade-shaped landscaping tool for defining and maintaining a well-defined boundary between a garden or soil bed and an adjacent natural or man-made ground surface. The tool generally comprising a vertical cutter, a horizontal cultivator, a grader flange and a handle mount disposed on the top edge of the blade. In particular, the landscaping function of the tool can be accomplished by physically drawing the tool along the adjacent natural or man-made ground surface whereby the vertical cutter and an associated horizontal cultivator sever plant growth and/or dislodge soil which are then physically graded away from the plane of the vertical cutter and away from the adjacent ground surface toward the soil bed to create the desired, well-defined edge and/or boundary between the soil bed and the adjacent ground surface.

Described herein is a combination apparatus and methods of using the combination apparatus. The combination apparatus is operable as both an edger and a sod cutter. The combination apparatus includes an arm that oscillates when driven by a motor. Both a sod cutter blade and an edger blade are coupled to the arm.

An angled edging apparatus or tool includes a spade connected to a handle at an angle. The angled edging apparatus allows a user to establish and maintain an edge or boundary around a garden with a minimum amount of effort and time.

In combination: a) a cutting blade assembly having a frame and a first cutting blade member with a first cutting edge portion configured to cause relative movement between components on the cutting blade assembly whereby the at least first cutting edge portion effects severance of an object; and b) a protective sheath. The protective sheath can be moved relative to the cutting blade assembly between: a) a first separated position; and b) an assembled position. The protective sheath frictionally engages the cutting blade assembly to thereby be maintained in the assembled position. The protective sheath has at least one component that projects away from the cutting blade assembly and has oppositely facing surfaces that can be grasped between two fingers on a user's one hand to facilitate repositioning of the protective sheath.
