This disclosure relates to a raking device, and in some implementations, a detachable rake head for raking sand traps and its method of use. The raking device may be configured to be releasably attached to a supporting handle (e.g., a broom handle, 5 golf club, golf ball retriever, or other rod-typed structure).

Hand tools having a hand guard for protecting a user's working hand are provided. In one embodiment, the hand tool may be a paint roller that includes a roller assembly having a proximal end and an opposite distal end, and a hand guard attached to the roller assembly. The roller assembly may include a handle portion extending from the proximal end of the roller assembly, and a support portion extending from the distal end of the roller assembly to the handle portion. The support portion may include a support arm assembly attached to the handle portion and a cover support positioned at the distal end of the roller assembly and rotatably attached to the support arm assembly. The hand guard may be positioned over a top surface of the handle portion and may include a plurality of walls defining an interior space configured to receive a user's hand therein.

A weed removal system for removing weeds with a rake includes a rake that is manipulated for raking debris on ground. The rake has a handle and a head and a tube is removably coupled to the rake. A poker is removably coupled to the tube such that the poker extends beyond the head. The poker selectively penetrates the ground adjacent to a weed thereby facilitating the weed to be pried out of the ground.

A drill attachment for tilling soil has an extended drill shaft that is coupled with a till plate. The combination may be driven by an ordinary hand drill. The drill shaft has a stabilizer tip that protrudes beyond the till plate. The till plate includes a plurality of teeth that dig into and work top soil, while a generally planar disk-shaped body member at the top of the till plate prevents the till plate from sinking below the surface of the soil. The teeth are stamped from the till plate, forming openings in the generally planar disk-shaped body member. These openings and other optional openings cooperate with the teeth to further break up clumps of soil, and help to balance forces from the teeth pulling into the soil against the force of the body member that resists sinking into the earth. Optional weed-out and hole tools are also disclosed.

Hand tools having a hand guard for protecting a user's working hand. In one embodiment, the hand tool may be a hand rake that includes a rake body having a proximal end and an opposite distal end and including a handle portion and a rake portion. The handle portion may extend from the proximal end of the rake body and include a finger opening configured to receive a user's fingers therethrough. The rake portion may extend from the distal end of the rake body to the handle portion and include a plurality of tines. A hand guard may be attached to the rake body and positioned over a top surface of the handle portion and may include a plurality of walls defining an interior space configured to receive the user's hand therein. In other embodiments, the hand tool may be a grabber or a paint roller.

Improved cooling systems for handheld devices are disclosed. In some aspects, the cooling system may utilize air inlets disposed behind a guard to prevent debris or liquids from entering the handheld device and potentially causing damage to internal components of the handheld device. In aspects, vents may be disposed on the guard to divert cooling air into a housing of the handheld device to cool internal components, such as the motor or a printed circuit board (PCB). In some aspects, a motor mount may be provided that includes ribs defining air channels to divert or direct cooling air to components to be cooled. The air channels provided by the motor mount may enable the cooling air to reach portions of the internal components that may be distant from the air inlets of the housing. Transfer housings and gear guides may also be provided to improve stabilization and enhance cooling.
