Abstract: A multi-purpose material handling apparatus includes an adapter plate, a support arm extending from the adapter plate, an upper bucket fixedly attached to an end of the support arm, a lower bucket pivotally attached to the support arm, and an actuation mechanism for selectively pivoting the lower bucket relative to the upper bucket. Auxiliary tools may optionally be attached to either the upper or lower buckets for increased utility of the apparatus. Further, a plurality of hooks, apertures and arrangements are provided for insertion of various material-handling accessories.

Abstract: A device for trapping debris against a tool head includes a base portion attachable to a tool shaft having an auxiliary head pivotally mounted thereto. The auxiliary head includes a pair of spaced arcuate arms each having a distal end. Disposed between the arms proximal the distal ends thereof is a concave scoop for scooping and receiving debris. The base portion includes a clip for removably receiving a handle stem on the auxiliary head to selectively lock the scoop at a position adjacent the tool head to trap debris therebetween.
