Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for the gathering, transporting and disposal of fallen leaves. The apparatus includes a wheeled container, a compliant bag of open mesh construction configured to removably reside within the container, and a tether cord attached to the bottom of the bag and extending exteriorly of the container. By pulling upon the tether cord, the contents of the bag are discharged as a reasonably compact pile.

Abstract: A tool for holding an exterior hub component of a dead bolt door lock within a cylinder bore extending between interior and exterior surfaces of a door includes first and second flat rigid plates elongated between proximal and distal extremities, and a securing mechanism interactive between both plates adjacent their proximal extremities. The distal extremity of the first plate is provided with an arcuate recess configured to embrace the cylinder bore. In use, the first plate is caused to lie flush against the interior surface of the door while the second plate rests atop the exterior hub positioned within the cylinder bore, and forces the hub toward the door.
