A versatile hand-held garden tool for cultivating, digging, weeding, pruning and trimming has a blade, a handle and a neck angling upwards from the blade that connects the blade to the handle. The blade has a body portion that is preferably 5"-7" long and a tip portion angling upwards from the body portion that is preferably about 1 inch long. The body portion has two edges, one edge is serrated and the other edge is beveled. The tip portion has a beveled edge. It is preferred that the handle have a V-shaped cross section to facilitate the mounting of a grip. The garden tool can be made by cutting a blank from a web of cold rolled steel having a thickness of about 0.075 inches, coining the beveled edges into the blank, and forming the tool by bending the blank. It is then preferred to heat treat and plate the cold rolled steel. |

A shovel is disclosed having a conventional shovel handle and yoke with the surface formed of flattened expanded metal. The flattened expanded metal is conventional and of the type that forms a grid of four sided diamond shaped openings having an elongate dimension and a short dimension. The flattened expanded metal is aligned parallel to the handle of the shovel and cut to a width and length sufficient to form the shovel body. The left and right edges as well as the top of the expanded metal are lined with straight bars to impart even and uninterrupted side edges and a foot hold top edge adjacent the yoke. The flattened metal forming the body of the shovel is given a conventional arcuate section and formed from metal having sufficient strength that all necessary support for the shovel surface is from the flattened metal. The front edges are cut to expose the elongate diamonds of the flattened expanded metal in a serrated configuration with at least the front serrated edge being hardened. There results a shovel like tool which at the serrated edges can be used for raking, weed trimming and the like in addition to having all of the regular advantages of a grid-like shovel. |

Each gardening tool proper (1) has a hollow mounting end-piece (3) provided on its free edge with a hook-shaped or channel-shaped member (4a,4b) whose opening is directed towards the working end of the tool. A handle (2) of either wood or plastic has a diameter at the lower end thereof which permits engagement with slight friction within the end-piece (3). A tool-retaining device stationarily fixed near the lower end of the handle has a resilient loop (11) which is intended to be engaged within the hook-shaped or channel-shaped member (4a,4a) of the end-piece. After engagement, the loop can be stretched or slackened (by means 5and 7 to 10) in order to permit either rigid interassembly or subsequent separation of tool proper and handle. |
