ABSTRACT:
A hand tool with a substantially rigid blade member and a pocket fixed thereto for receiving at least a portion of a hand of a user. The pocket can have an open inner volume defined by upper and lower panels, first and second pocket side panels, and, possibly, one or more end panels. Pad members, which can have ridges and troughs disposed therealong, can be coupled to the upper and lower panels. A protuberance can cooperate with the upper panel to produce an arcuate proximal surface of the hand tool. A shield can provide protection, and a mitten portion can receive a hand of a user. A plurality of apertures in the blade member can enable a selective passage of material therethrough. A container arrangement can selectively engage an aperture in the blade member, and a tip extension member can selectively extend the blade member.
