Abstract: A snow shovel blade is provided. The snow shovel blade is a stamped metal body with a generally planar portion, a curved portion, and two opposed lateral, depending sidewalls. The sidewalls are supporting sidewalls.
Abstract: A wheelbarrow leg stabilizer having a slip resistant lower surface is provided. Preferably, the slip resistant lower surface includes a plurality of edges structured to engage the ground and thereby increase the starting friction. More preferably, the edges are part of a deformation in the leg stabilizer body. When the stabilizer body is constructed from a generally planar metal member, the deformations may be punched in the stabilizer body thereby creating openings adjacent the deformations. This configuration provides for both an edge that engages the ground but also a face that creates a larger contact surface with the ground.

Abstract: A planter having a body with a base and a depending sidewall is disclosed. The body has at least three layers, an outer layer, a central layer, and an inner layer. The outer layer is a polyurethane foam. The central layer is fiberglass. The inner layer is polyester resin. A method of making the planter is further disclosed.
Abstract: 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 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.
Abstract: Nested planters are provided. The nested planters include a body having a base assembly and a depending sidewall, the body defining a substantially enclosed space. The base assembly includes a generally horizontal planar member and a stand-off feature. The stand-off feature is structured to extend downwardly from the planar member. A substantial portion of the body sidewall is structured to correspond to the body sidewall of another nesting planter when two nesting planters are nested.
