A gripping member (80) is coupled to an upper end of the handle member and has a top portion (88) with an arcuate profile coupled to a bottom portion (90) having a substantially U-shaped profile. The tool head includes a blade member formed of a material having a first thickness and integrally formed with a step member having a second thickness greater than the first thickness.
