A hand held tool for gardens, landscapes and the like; comprising a handle, and a tool head. The tool head is formed from a flat blade that has tapers and is bent in substantially a J shape that is beveled along a portion of its edges. The open end of the J has a beveled tip, preferably containing a center notch. The bent, closed portion of the J shape is beveled at least 50% and forms a heel. The short leg of the J forms a flange, which is preferably not beveled and provides an area for attaching the tool head to the handle, preferably via a tang. The blade width is generally four or more times wider than the thickness of the blade material.

Multi-use tools having a stamped single piece tool head that includes a chevron-shaped body, and a coupling mechanism configured to couple a handle to the chevron-shaped body. Additional tools can include a chevron-shaped body comprising a first external edge, a second external edge, a first internal edge, and a second internal edge. The tool also includes a handle, a coupling mechanism demountably coupling the handle to the chevron-shaped body and a void formed by the first internal edge, the second internal edge, and the coupling mechanism. An apex of the chevron-shaped body points away from the handle.

The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a cutting tool for a vegetation cutting machine, such as a brush cutter or an edge trimmer, comprising the following steps: (a) producing by an injection molding process at a first temperature a preform (200) made of a polyamide mixture comprising at least one homopolymer and at least one copolymer; (b) stamping the preform at a second temperature lower than the first temperature so as to cause polymer chains of the polyamide mixture to extend according to at least two different directions, thereby forming a planar piece (201), (c) cutting the planar piece (201) to define at least one cutting edge of the cutting tool (2).

A hoe-like excavation tool having an elongated handle, and a hoe plate mounted to one end of the handle, perpendicular to the handle and offset from the axis of the handle. The plate has a sharp working edge, and a plurality of teeth extending outward from the edge.

A coupling for an elongated handle and a tool head is disclosed. The coupling includes a plug member, a ferrule, and a pin member. The plug member further comprises an elongated passage formed therein receives a tool head shank of the tool head. The elongated passage is in communication with a pair of aligned plug member openings formed through the plug member. The ferrule includes a pair of aligned ferrule openings. When the plug member is partially received within the ferrule, the plug member openings align with the ferrule openings. The pin member extends through the aligned ferrule openings and the plug member openings and through an opening of the tool head shank when the tool head shank is mounted in the elongated passage. The ends of the pin member are bent at an angle to an axis extending through the elongated passage to secure the tool head shank to the plug member and ferrule.
