Living in the Northwest it is nearly impossible to own land and not wage war against invasive blackberries and brush. While attempting to fight this battle with a regular single blade trimmer attachment, it dawned on me that the real trouble is that a single cut only detaches the plant from its base, but leaves it suspended in neighboring brush. My invention with its multiple planes of bladelets turns the brush immediately to mulch for easy raking or to leave as mulch.

A telescopic handle pruning tool includes two handles and each handle includes a first tube and a second tube pivotally interconnected to each other. The first tube has a storage portion which has a first hole and a second hole. The second tube includes multiple adjustment holes. A control assembly is located in the storage portion and includes an actuating piece which is pivotably connected to the storage portion. A positioning member and a resilient member are respectively connected to two ends of the actuating piece. The positioning member extends through the second hole of the storage portion. When the actuating piece is pivoted, the positioning member is engaged with or disengaged from one of the adjustment holes of the second tube when pivoting the actuating piece. The first tube is movable relative to the second tube to adjust the length of the handles.

A cord reel assembly for a tree pruner having a pole, comprising an outer housing which is divided into a first and a second half, the first half comprising a pole connection mechanism having a male connection part with an insert, the insert is adapted to engage with a locking pin of the pole, for locking the cord reel in place to the pole.

A hand tool including a shear assembly is provided, including a first handle, a second handle including a cutting member, and a cutting blade. The cutting blade forms a first opening and a second opening. The first handle is attachable in a first operating mode to the cutting blade at the first opening via a first fastener. The first handle is attachable in a second operating mode to the cutting blade at the second opening via the first fastener. The cutting blade is attached in pivotal arrangement to the second handle via a second fastener.

A tool for removing vines from electrical transmission infrastructure includes a shank having two prongs extending therefrom to form two hooks. Each hook defines a concavity having a blade disposed therein. The blades are positioned to cut vines instead of merely pulling the vines, thereby facilitating the removal of vines from electrical transmission infrastructure.

A pruner is provided including a pruning mechanism including a pruning blade on a tip side, a pole connected to a base side of the pruning mechanism, and a hook mechanism including a hook that projects to a lateral side substantially orthogonal to a central axis of the pole and that is displaceable in a range from a first position where an end portion is away from the central axis to a second position where the end portion is close to the central axis. The hook is configured to keep the first position when first external force in a direction from the base side toward the tip side is applied, and be displaced from the first position to the second position when second external force in a direction from the tip side toward the base side and/or a direction from the lateral side toward the central axis is applied.

A ferrule system includes: a first ferrule comprising a proximal end for engaging a first implement and a threaded portion opposite the proximal end; and a second ferrule comprising a distal portion for engaging a second implement, a proximal portion opposite the distal portion and comprising teeth, a threaded portion intermediate the distal portion and proximal portion and configured to engage the threaded portion of the first ferrule. Teeth are mounted on the first ferrule and are biased to automatically engage the teeth of the proximal portion of the second ferrule as the threaded portion of the first ferrule engages the threaded portion of the second ferrule such that only tightening rotation of the second ferrule relative to the first ferrule is permitted when the teeth mounted on the first ferrule are automatically engaged with the teeth of the proximal portion of the second ferrule.
