Disclosed is an integrated rake and hoe tool.

A multipurpose foot-powered system is disclosed which is a set of foot-powered and hand-operated tools which break up the structure of compacted earth. Specifically, the system comprises a kick-pick tool and a twist-pick tool. The kick-pick tool measures approximately 5-6 feet in length. It resembles a shovel with a hooded steel pick or hooded chisel tip for a blade. The blade is slightly curved like a shovel and an integral footrest is positioned at a convenient distance from the tip of the hooded blade, which will allow the user to drive the hooded blade into the earth with their foot. The twist-pick tool is similar in design, however the tool is entirely straight from its tip through its handle. The footrest height is adjustable by the user and the handle has a T-shaped crossbar that enables a user to twist the hooded blade about the long axis of the twist-pick.

A fire suppression vegetation clearing kit provides for effective vegetation removal operations associated with fire suppression activities while ensuring user safety in operation with an industrial grade wood-chipper. The kit comprises a spade and a rakehoe. In this kit, each of the tools are composed of a non-metal material. The tools can be made of a unitary composition or a combination of non-metal materials. Each tool excludes open-loop handles, such that users are unable to loop a handle, arm, or anything else through the handle. The kit is also usable with a shovel having a non-open-loop handle. The shovel, spade, and rakehoe allow for vegetation clearing activities associated with fire suppression, but the non-metal material and lack of open-loop handle ensures that if a tool is accidentally caught in the industrial grade wood-chipper, the tool will be safely shredded and the user remains out of harms way.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a garden implement that includes a handle, at least one tool member having a pair of flanges extending therefrom, each flange includes a flange bore and a pinion segment that share a common center, the pair of flanges have opposing parallel surfaces that each include the pinion segment, the opposing parallel flange surfaces are spaced apart by a first distance. Also included is at least a first fixing member coupled between the pair of flanges and the handle. The first fixing member includes a boss projecting along a longitudinal axis, the boss has parallel surfaces spaced apart by the first distance, a boss bore, and a curved rack segment projecting from the boss and configured to mesh with at least a portion of the pinion segment. Also included is a fixing shaft insertably received in at least one flange bore and the boss bore.
