A method of refurbishing a handheld landscape power tool includes separating an original motor of the power tool from a tool head of the power tool. The tool head includes a tool shaft extending proximate to the original motor. A replacement power head and a shaft coupler are provided. The replacement power head includes a motor and a power shaft mechanically coupled to the motor. The shaft coupler includes a power shaft connecter coupled to a shaft-specific connecter. The replacement power head is coupled to the shaft coupler by connecting the power shaft connecter to the power shaft of the replacement power head. The tool head is coupled to the shaft coupler by connecting the shaft-specific connecter to the tool shaft of the tool head.

TOOL ASSEMBLY
20230019183 · 2023-01-19 ·

An improved assembly is described. The assembly includes a shaft affixed on a first side to a first handle and affixed to a tool on a second side. A first end of a continuous cord is affixed to the tool at a first location and a second end of the continuous cord is affixed to the tool at a second location. A second handle is affixed to a loop formed by the continuous cord. During use, a user grasps both handles, places the tool at a base of a payload, and pushes the assembly to load the payload onto the tool. By bending the users knees and not putting undue strain on the users back, the user may utilize the handles to lift and move the payload to a desired location.
