A tool with a handle having a main shaft extending from the handle that is angled to form a secondary shaft having a second end wherein the angle between the main shaft and the secondary shaft is such that when a person grips the handle the secondary shaft forms an angle with a ground surface that is substantially a right angle. The secondary shaft is adapted to mount a second shaft which may have either a two piece blade that is articulated on the secondary shaft with moveable attachments to form either a flat blade for pushing snow or a V-shaped blade for pushing through snow, where in either configuration, the snow blade is substantially completely in contact with the ground surface or a rake for moving outdoor debris.

A garden tool apparatus comprises a rod, a tool head, and a rotatable handle apparatus. The rotatable handle apparatus comprises a hand gripping apparatus that in turn comprises a lower cylindrical body that comprises threads and a hole on a side thereof. The rotatable handle apparatus further comprise a rotatable apparatus that comprises a closed cylindrical body that in turn comprises a plurality of cavities radially disposed on an outer wall thereof. The closed cylindrical body is connected to the rod. The rotatable apparatus is connected to the hollow portion. The hollow portion is freely rotatable against the rotatable apparatus. The rotatable handle apparatus further comprises a cylindrical sleeve enclosing the rotatable apparatus and is connected to both the rotatable apparatus and the hollow portion. The rotatable handle apparatus further comprises a latch apparatus that comprises an impediment pin that is disposed through the hole of the lower cylindrical body and engages with the plurality of cavities of the rotatable apparatus.

A shovel head counterweight for a helmet has been described. The counterweight has a mass that acts to counterbalance other objects attached to a helmet, such as night vision goggles. The shape and thin profile of the counterweight distributes the mass across the surface of the helmet to decrease strain on the user's neck. In addition, the underside of the counterweight is contoured to snuggly fit against the curvatures of the helmet. The counterweight also has one or more fasteners for removably attaching the counterweight to the helmet. The fastener(s) can also be used to attach a bar for use as a shovel. The counterweight has a digging edge for shoveling and a concave underside for scooping dirt or other material.

A working toolkit includes an extendible shaft, a tool handle and a tool head, each having connection formations so that the tool handle may be releasably attached to one end of the shaft, and the tool head may be releasably attached to an opposite end of the shaft to form a working tool, and thereafter disassembled for storage and transportation in a compact form. The tool handle may be directly releasably attached directly to the tool head. A variety of connection formations are provided, particularly adapted for a tubular shaft. The working toolkit may include several different tool handles and tool heads for selectively forming a variety of working tools.

A hand tool assembly generally comprising a handle and a tool head combined by a connector. The handle has a first end and a second end. The connector has a first end and a second end. The first end of the connector is combined with the second end of the handle. The second end of the connector is combined with the head of a tool by inserting the connector into a socket/opening in the tool's head. The second end of the connector is flexible thereby allowing it to conform to the shape of the socket regardless of whether the socket is straight or curved. A rigid tube insert is positioned a short distance into the handle second end and extends a short distance outward from the handle second end. Adhesives or fasteners may be used to help secure the components together.

An apparatus for an improved hand tool device wherein a rotatable apparatus may rotate the rotating handle apparatus in 15 degree increments to adjust to the user to help reduce the risk of injury and increase power application while gardening by adjusting and creating a favorable angle between the ground and the point of entry of the hand tool device into the ground.
