Abstract: An ergonomic hand tool for enhancing the leverage available to a user includes a frame having a distal portion and a proximal portion, and a working element operably coupled to a distal end of the distal portion. The frame further includes a handle that is pivotally coupled to the frame at a portion thereof intermediate the proximal portion and the distal portion. A brace structure is preferably operably coupled to the proximal portion of the frame, with the brace structure being configured to operably brace against an upper side of a user's forearm while the user operably grasps the handle.

Abstract: A compactable kneeling stool apparatus includes a base portion and a seat portion which is operably coupled to the base portion via a seat post member disposed between the seat portion and the base portion. The pivot connection selectively enables the seat post member to pivot with respect to the base portion, thereby selectively adjusting a height dimension defined between the seat portion and the base portion to a desired one of a plurality of distinct pivot positions about an axis defined by the pivot connection. The selective adjustment is preferably provided by a releasable locking mechanism that is operable with the seat post member to selectively position the seat portion in a desired one of a plurality of distinct predetermined locations with respect to the base portion.

Abstract: A rake device including an elongated stem having a main portion and a first end portion adjacent thereto, with the first end portion having a first end and being configured such that a first angle defined between the first end and the main portion is acute. The rake device further includes a rake head secured to the first end portion of the elongated stem, with the rake head being generally disposed in a first plane, such that the first plane and the main portion define an acute angle therebetween.

Abstract: A storage device for storing and organizing various articles adjacent to upstanding walls includes a frame having mounting apertures disposed therein for operably receiving mounting fasteners therethrough so as to removably attach the frame to an upstanding surface. The storage device further includes a plurality of storage apertures disposed therein, which apertures are specifically sized and configured to receive handled implements therethrough.
