Material moving devices include ergonomic improvements that reduce extraneous work required and lessen strain experienced by users. Material moving devices include a head for receiving material to be moved and a first elongated handle with a grip at the far end for gripping by a first hand of a user. A second handle is coupled to the head for gripping by a second hand of the user. The second handle can be pivotably coupled to the head in a location or locations generally longitudinally aligned with the expected location of the center of mass of the head when loaded with material to be moved.

A secondary handle attachment includes a handle, an upper elongated bracket, a lower elongated bracket, at least one left fastener, and at least one right fastener. The upper elongated bracket and the lower elongated bracket each comprises an inner surface and an outer surface. The upper elongated bracket and the lower elongated bracket are concentrically positioned with each other and positioned around a primary handle of the tool. The handle is terminally connected to the outer surface of the upper elongated bracket. The at least one left fastener and the at least one right fastener are oppositely positioned of each other about the upper elongated bracket. As a result, the lower elongated bracket is laterally mounted to the upper elongated bracket by the at least one left fastener and the at least one right fastener thus securing the secondary handle attachment to the primary handle of the tool.

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.

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.

There is provided a shovel apparatus including a body with a bottom and two sides. Each side is fixedly coupled to a side edge of the bottom, and includes a front and a back adjacent to a front edge and a back edge of the bottom, respectively. A first handle is coupled to each side. A second handle is coupled to each side and extends past the back of each side and away from the shovel apparatus. The shovel apparatus is sized to hold the bag or sack in an open position for filling and the shovel apparatus has a length less than a length of the bag or sack such that when the shovel apparatus is inserted in the bag or sack, the second handle touches near a bottom of the bag or sack and the first handle is near a top of the bag or sack.

A hand-held electric hammer includes a handle arrangement on a tool carrier shank in which a striking mechanism actuated by an electric motor is accommodated and at the lower end of which a tool holder is arranged, which is suitable for receiving a tool attachment in the form of a spade blade, a demolition chisel, or a PVC scraper. The handle arrangement is designed as a T-shaped T-handle seated on the tool carrier shank, so that on both sides of the tool carrier shank there are two handles for both a left and a right hand of a user, whereby in the lower half of the tool carrier shank an additional handle stub is attached protruding in parallel with the T-handle from the tool carrier shank, which allows the electric hammer to be gripped with one hand on the T-handle and with the other hand on the additional handle stub.

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 hand tool includes an elongated handle suitably sized and shaped for handling HMA, and an implement attached to a distal end of the elongated handle. Such an implement includes: a non-stick, asphalt-resistant top layer, and a metal core directly attached to the non-stick, asphalt-resistant top layer, and a non-stick, asphalt-resistant bottom layer directly attached to the metal core. Notably, the metal core is intercalated between the non-stick, asphalt-resistant top layer and the non-stick, asphalt-resistant bottom layer. Advantageously, each of the non-stick, asphalt-resistant top layer and the non-stick, asphalt-resistant bottom layer prohibits hot mix asphalt from adhering onto the implement.

A double-handle snow shovel includes a scoop, a support shaft, a bend shaft, and a handle as the support shaft and the bend shaft are collectively optimize leverage for lifting, throwing, and removing snow. The bend shaft includes a first elongated section, a second elongated section, and a bend section as the bend handle is formed into a V-shaped body. The first elongated section is terminally connected to a first shaft end of the support shaft. The second elongated section is terminally connected to a second shaft end of the support shaft. The first and second elongated section are terminally connected to each other by the bend section, opposite of the support shaft. The first shaft end is concentrically mounted within a collar of the scoop that removes snow. The second shaft end is concentrically connected within a connector section of the handle that engages with the user's hand.

A trenching tool including an elongated pole having a bottom end connected to an elbow construction. A hollow cylindrical tube is movably mounted to the bottom end of the elbow construction. The tube is opened on both ends allowing loading of and emptying material scooped from the trench. An adjustable connection secures the tube to the elbow construction.
