ABSTRACT:
A light-weight, multi-purpose light-duty yard tool made with a small sheet metal blade part shaped like a truncated triangle with the widest part at the front and the narrow edge at the heel or rear end. The front side portions are slightly cupped as is the wide front edge, to enable use as a shovel. The front edge has cutouts with sharpened edges providing raking tines to be used as a pushing cutting member. The forward portions of the side edges are sharpened, enabling use as an edging or slicing tool, while the rear portions of the side edges are flanged for strength. A tang piece, riveted to the heel part of the blade, provides a device for attaching the blade to a lightweight wood handle of medium length. The tool length preferrable is the distance from the users waist to the ground.
