A multi-use configurable raking system may have a first rake and a second rake. The first rake may have a first handle and a first rake head connected to the first handle. The second rake may have a second handle and a second rake head connected to the second handle. A connector may be affixed to the first rake and the second handle may be mounted on the first handle via the connector. The second rake may be variably positioned relative to the first rake. An orientation of the second rake relative to the first rake may be adjusted by rotation of the second rake relative to the first rake and a longitudinal position of the second rake relative to the first rake may be adjusted by movement of the second rake relative to the first rake along a longitudinal axis of the second handle.

One aspect of the present invention is a rake spline separator for minimizing or preventing movable or adjustable rake splines from getting damaged and/or from being moved or bent to inefficient raking positions during raking tasks. As a non-limiting embodiment or example, the rake spline separator includes a first end, a second end, an elongated body extending from the first end to the second end, a first or front side, a second or rear side, and a plurality of holes. Another aspect of the present invention is a rake-assisting apparatus that includes a rake spline separator and a rake scoop device. A further aspect of the present invention is a rake that includes a rake spline separator and that may also include a rake scoop device.

The present invention relates to a multipurpose tool that is configured to collect seaweed and other debris from the edges of a body of water and from shorelines. The tool has an elongated handle having an ergonomic grip, a head portion, a plurality of tines extending from the head portion, and a removably attached net-like filter. Each tine has an elongated length with a downwardly extending distal portion and is supported by a curved brace, wherein the curved brace extends laterally across the tines for providing mechanical support to the tines. The tines are oriented in a tapered manner having less spacing between the tines near the head portion and more spacing between the tines at the distal end which allows the width of the tines to be larger at the distal end than near the head portion.

Device for collecting garden debris from the ground. The device includes a pair of bodies and a pair of handles. Each body defines opposed ends and a collection structure extending at least partially between the ends. The bodies are configured to be pivotally securable to each other about an axis arranged adjacent one of the ends of each body such that the collection structures are opposed and extend substantially radially away from the axis. Each handle is configured to be connected to one of the bodies at a position spaced radially from the axis. Operating the handles causes the bodies to pivot between an open position, to allow dragging the bodies along the ground to gather garden debris between the collection structures, and a closed to allow trapping the gathered garden debris between the bodies.

Devices, systems and methods having a pair of pivotable molded plastic substantially S shaped elongated arms with handle ends and opposite rake scooper ends. A user can manipulate the handle ends as tongs to pick up yard waste, such as but not limited to leaves, branches and the like, to be moved into yard waste containers, such as trashcans, leaf bags and the like. The pivot point of the pivoting arms is substantially twice as close to the handle ends than to the rake scooper ends to allow for greater leverage for picking up the yard waste. The higher pivotal point can form an approximately 3 to approximately 1 work ratio whereby spreading the handle ends of the device just approximately 11″ or more apart allows for the rake scooper ends have spreads approximately 33″, for maximizing debris collection.

A swivel coupling device for rakes or other yard tools having handles that allows two of the implements to be quickly and easily connected for use of the combination to scoop, rake or the like various materials, and disconnected just as easily thereafter. The device includes a pair of clamp assemblies including tubular sleeves rotatably connected by a swivelable knuckle or in other words a swivel joint.
