A multipurpose drain tool including a drain shovel DROVEL and pry bar. The multipurpose drain tool includes a drain tool shaft, a proximal pry bar, and a distal drain shovel. The drain tool shaft carries at least one rubber hand grip, a proximal end cap, and a distal end cap. The pry bar is mounted to and extends outwardly from the proximal end cap. The drain shovel is mounted to and extends distally from the distal end cap. The multipurpose drain tool of the present invention offers a solution to the problem of clearing subsurface drains to restore drain functionality.

Example travel exercise equipment includes a barbell including a first end portion and a second end portion and a pair of yokes. Each yoke includes a base and a pair spaced-apart yoke arms extending from the base. The bases being adapted to be coupled to a corresponding end portion of the barbell. The travel exercise equipment includes a pair of containers having handles adapted to be carried by a corresponding yoke.

A light guide plate includes a main body, first stripe structures and second stripe structures. The main body has an optical surface, a light-incident surface and an opposite light-incident surface. The main body has a hole passing through the optical surface, and the optical surface has a first region and a second region which are separated by an imaginary line. The imaginary line intersects the hole. The hole has a first side near the opposite light-incident surface and a second side near the light-incident surface. A portion of each of the first stripe structures is disposed in the first region. The second stripe structures are disposed in the second region. An extending direction of at least one portion of each first stripe structure is vertical to the light-incident surface, and a portion of the second stripe structures extends to the first side of the hole near the opposite light-incident surface.

A digging implement including: a digging head (16); a substantially elongated main shaft (12) extending from the digging head (16); a main handle (14) secured to the main shaft (12) substantially opposed to the digging head (16); and an auxiliary handle assembly (140) and a footplate assembly (160) both mounted to the main shaft (12) between the digging head (16) and the main handle (14), the auxiliary handle assembly (140) and foot plate assembly (160) being each mountable to the main shaft (12) at different longitudinally spaced apart positions therealong.

A dual function shovel and rhino tool that allows a firefighter (or other user) to easily and quickly shift between a shovel and a rhino. The dual function tool is particularly useful in wildland firefighting since only one tool needs to be carried. The dual function tool is not limited to firefighting use but can also be used when one needs two tools in the work of operation they are performing.

A soil conserving shovel and grate attachment that aid a user in removing and reclaiming soil from a recently removed plant by abrading the plant's rootball back and forth against the shovel and apparatus. In addition, methods of using a shovel and grate attachment instruct a user how to efficiently reclaim soil from a plant rootball. Also described is a method of manufacturing a shovel or grate attachment that can be used for rootball thinning.

A multiple purpose tool assembly for attaching a variety of implements to a handle includes a handle and a rod that is removably coupled to the handle. The rod has a first portion that is slidably coupled to a second portion such that the rod has a telescopically adjustable length. A lock is removably coupled to the second section of the rod. The lock is biased into a locking position for retaining the rod at a selected length. Additionally, the lock is urgeable into an unlocked position thereby facilitating the length of the rod to be adjusted. A plurality of attachments is each selectively and removably attached to the rod for performing specific tasks.

A snow shovel blower apparatus comprises a tubular attachment for a leaf blower or other like motor for blowing forced air through a tube. The snow shovel blower apparatus comprises an attachment end and a snow shovel end, wherein the attachment end attaches to a tube extending from a leaf blower or other like motor, and the snow shovel end comprises a snow shovel scoop extending from the tube, having an air directing element for directing forced air across the face of the scoop and towards an edge of the snow shovel scoop. The forced air aids in moving snow from a surface, such as a walkway, driveway, sidewalk, porch, deck or other like surface.

An adjustable hand trowel comprising a handle, a blade-neck assembly comprising a blade and a neck, and an adjustable fastener system is disclosed herein. The adjustable fastener system provides a secure method of fastening the blade-neck assembly to the handle wherein the adjustable hand trowel is able to withstand forces typically exerted when using a trowel for digging and wherein the user may readily dig in confined spaces. The disclosed adjustable hand trowel further allows a user to adjust the relative position of the blade and handle using an adjustable fastener system that may be operated using one hand. The adjustable hand trowel may thereby allow the user to dig in an ergonomic and efficient manner in applications that would otherwise be unsuitable for ergonomic and efficient digging.
