ABSTRACT:
A detachable broom head is provided for quick and easy attachment to a lawn and garden rake. The broom head is adapted to be removably mounted on the rake such that a dual purpose lawn and garden tool is created. In one orientation the tool functions as an ordinary lawn and garden rake. In a second orientation the tool functions as a broom. Therefore, it is possible to use a single lawn and garden tool for tasks that require both raking and brooming. Additionally, the broom head may be attached to the rake so that the bristles of the broom do not interfere with the normal operation of the rake. In one embodiment, a pair of attachment clips are provided on the broom head to grip the rake frame. In another embodiment, a coupler is provided to attach the broom head to the rake.
