Garden tools are provided to enable easier gardening with increased gardening and landscaping functionality. The garden tools allow the passing of material through the tool to enable improved landscaping. Certain garden tools include gratings to sift material. Certain garden tools allow material to pass through to allow easier performance of the desired gardening or landscaping function.

Farming tool systems may include a handle shaft and a farming tool that detachably connects to the handle shaft via a locking bit and a locking port that includes a socket. In some embodiments, a multi-head attachment may include one or more farming tools that slide laterally along a rail (perpendicular to the shaft length) and another farming tool that does not slide along the rail. In some embodiments, the farming tool(s) is a hoe. The farming tool(s) may be in the form of a wire that includes flat portions located inside a crimp to prevent the wire from rotating within the crimp and a forward portion that may be, for example, generally triangular in shape.

The present application relates generally to storage devices, and specifically to a combined shovel and storage device for backcountry or all-terrain use comprising a shovel blade and a complementary portion, whereby the shovel blade and the complementary portion are configured to releasably secure together thereby defining a hollow space for storage therebetween. The combined shovel and storage device further includes a shovel shaft, wherein the shovel shaft is of a dimension that can be stored within the hollow space for storage, and wherein the shovel shaft contains a first end with a shovel handle and a second end opposite the first end configured to releasably secure to the shovel blade. Also disclosed is a method of using a combined shovel and storage device to shovel earth, snow, water, or any combination thereof.

An adjustment assembly configured to be coupled with a longitudinal support assembly of a cultivator assembly is disclosed. The adjustment assembly includes a swing arm rotationally coupled to the longitudinal support assembly, a first gang unit rotationally coupled with the swing arm and a second gang unit spaced apart from the first gang unit and rotationally coupled with the swing arm. A first gang adjustment mechanism rotates the first gang unit with respect to the longitudinal support assembly and a second gang adjustment mechanism rotates the second gang unit with respect to the longitudinal support assembly.

An implement for manually clearing snow, slush, or ice comprises an elongated handle and relatively narrow, shallowly curved blade and can permit a standing stationary operator to drive or otherwise draw the front face of the blade more or less face-on into fallen snow, slush, or ice to manually plow, propel, launch or otherwise move snow to a spot remote from the operator in a lateral direction outwardly away from the User, for example forward, sideways, or rearward. The implement can also be employed wherein the blade skims the pavement at a shallow angle permitting a rapid pushing motion to send a charge ballistically ahead of the blade to a distant spot and can also be employed in a traditional shoveling mode. The implement can clear open or narrow spaces, wide or narrow steps with or without parapet walls, rails, or other barriers, and it can be economically produced.

A multipurpose handle and workpiece attachment tool (10, 12, 14) has a handle (16) and a workpiece (18). The handle has a grip portion (20) at a first end and a first attachment portion (22) at a second end. The workpiece has a second attachment portion (24) adapted to engage the first attachment portion of the handle. The first attachment portion has a sleeve (26) with an opening (30) which can receive the second attachment portion. The sleeve has a clip-lock aperture (32) and a cam-lock aperture (34), and there is a cam clamping lever (28) pivotally connected to the sleeve. The cam clamping lever has an eccentric cam surface (36) which can be moved into and out of the cam-lock aperture by operating the cam clamping lever. The second attachment portion has a first spring loaded button (38a, 38b, 42a) which is spring biased to move into the clip-lock aperture when the first and second attachment portions are engaged, and also has a cam engaging surface (40) against which the eccentric cam surface is pressed when the cam clamping lever is operated. In this way, the handle and the workpiece assume a locked configuration.

A tool comprises a blade operatively connected to a shaft and also comprises a foot plate operatively connected to the blade or the shaft. The tool is adapted for applications including, but not limited to, trenching and edging. In particular, the tool is adapted so the blade can travel forward in an arc without coming completely out of the soil. The blade can be designed to cut through roots up to a limited size.
