Tools for trimming excess vegetation from growing plants include inner and outer coaxially positioned, relatively rotatable cutter blade assemblies which establish an interior volume for receiving a plant to be trimmed. Excess vegetation from the plant which extends outwardly of the interior volume established by the cutter blades will therefore be severed upon relative rotation being effected therebetween. Most preferably, the inner cutter assembly includes sets of elongate cutter blade members whose having tined ends which may be partially embedded in the soil surrounding the growing plant to be trimmed. The outer cutter assembly is mounted for free movement both rotationally and longitudinally regarding the inner cutter assembly, and is most preferably connected to a motorized source of power (e.g., a conventional hand-held electric drill). The tined ends may therefore be embedded in the soil surrounding the plant so that the plant occupies the interior volume defined thereby and so that the inner cutter assembly remains stationary during the trimming procedure. The outer cutter assembly may then be sleeved over the inner cutter assembly, and rotated (e.g., by operation of the electric drill attached thereto) to thereby cause the excess vegetation extending outwardly from the interior volume to be severed.

A device for gathering and lifting leaves that utilizes a specially designed pair of leaf scoops that are pivotally secured to each other in opposing orientation via their handles. Each of the leaf scoops is provided with a separate pivotal axis that extends through the handle of the leaf scoop. The leaf scoops are offset from each other so that the handles can be operated like the handles of a pair of scissors in order to open and close the heads of the leaf scoops relative to each other, thereby capturing leaves between the scoop heads so the leaves can be transported and so the leaves can be released when the leaves have been transported to the desired location. The device is provided with a central handle that attaches midway between the pivotal axes so that the user can grasp the central handle when lifting the device and the leaves.

This invention provides a post hole digger having a first, traverse pivot point, located on the lower section of two handle members, and a second, blade assembly pivot point located at the medial point of the blade assemblies. Because the first pivot point is a traverse pivot point, the handle members are only required to travel through a limited range of motion. Additionally, the second, blade assembly pivot point is preferably an offset pivot point. Thus, because the second, blade assembly pivot point is disposed at a medial point of the blade assemblies, the motion of the handle members, which are coupled to the upper ends of the blade assemblies, is reversed relative to the lower ends of the blade members.

A multi-functional gardening implement that, in some embodiments, functions as a pair of shears, a spade, a garden cultivator, a saw, a machete, a weeder and a rake. The implement comprises two shears that cooperate to cut vegetation placed between them when a user presses the handles of the shears together. The implement also has at least one appendage, which may be a shovel, a hoe, a garden cultivator, or another garden tool that is attached to the central portions of the shears and can be rotated to an operating position where the appendage is supported by the blades of the shears. The implement may have a second appendage that rotates in the opposite direction to a similar operating position against the other sides of the blades. In some embodiments, the cutting portions of the shears may be configured to define a spade blade in the closed position.

The root wacker tool is a manually operated hand tool that includes a shaft of which mounted thereon is a hammer cap for imparting a force into a blade located about an opposite end of the shaft, which is useful in the cutting of roots or stumps located within compacted soil. The slide hammer has a mushroom shape to form a finger guard, and can be disengaged from the shaft to connect to a handle accessory to form a sledge hammer. The handle accessory can be connected to the shaft for use as a root whacker tool or attached to the blade to form an ax. An accessory saw can be stored within the shaft when not in use, and can be attached to the handle accessory for use as a saw. The shaft is aligned above the desired cutting surface via a slide hammer that slides vertically about the shaft, and a footplate, which secures the blade with respect to the shaft.

A gardening tool includes a handle, a shaft and a pair of helical drill elements. The shaft extends from the handle longitudinally to a pointed shaft distal end. The pair of helical drill elements are spaced from and surround the shaft. The helical drill elements extend along the shaft and have free drill distal ends. The shaft distal end extends farther from the handle than does the drill distal ends. A debris-ejecting assembly includes a pusher slidable longitudinally along the shaft between the shaft and the drill elements. The ejecting assembly includes a spring arranged between a portion of the shaft and the pusher. The spring urges the pusher away from the shaft distal end toward the handle.

A hole digging device comprising a shaft having a crossbar perpendicularly attached; a push rod parallel to the shaft; a circular base on the second end of the push rod and a handle on the first end of the push rod, wherein the handle, push rod, and base can altogether move between an up position and a down position; two braces attached to the shaft on opposing sides; two digging blades pivotally attached to the braces, wherein the digging blades can pivot between an engaged position or a disengaged position; two blade shafts parallel to the central shaft, wherein the digging blades are pivotally attached to the blade shafts; two grasping loops pivotally attached to the crossbar opposite each other and moveable between an up position and a down position; wherein the grasping loops are biased in the down position caused by springs.

An apparatus for pulling weeds has a body and a reciprocating element able to move upwards or downwards relative to the body. A first blade is attached to or integral with the lower end of the body. A retainer attached to the body holds an intermediate portion of a second blade relative to the body, but allows the second blade to pivot between open and closed positions. When the reciprocating element is in a lower position, the second blade is held in, or allowed to pivot to, its open position. When the reciprocating element is in an upper position, the second blade is held in the closed position by the reciprocating element. The reciprocating element may be biased towards the upper position. The rotating blade, when in the open position, may prevent the reciprocating element from moving to the upper position.
