ABSTRACT:
A cylindrically shaped fulcrum member is affixed to the lower end of a garden tool such as a pitchfork, cultivator or weeder. The fulcrum member may be attached either directly to the tines or to the handle shaft if there are no tines and is located above the lowermost point of the tool. After the point of the tool is forced into the ground, the handle is moved rearwardly, the back of the fulcrum member contacts the ground and the lower end of the tool pivots upwardly braking up the soil or pulling up weeds or the like. The fulcrum member is provided with at least one bolt and nut clamping mechanism so that the member can be moved through and secured to different positions along the tines or the shaft to change the mechanical advantage of the tool.
