Abstract: A multi-purpose drill driven tool for removing weeds, roots and other debris from the earth with minimum disturbance to the surrounding soil. The tool includes a vertical shaft, of sufficient length, that attaches to a drill to permit operation in the vertical position. The lead point of the drive shaft is tapered and flat, which permits fastening the two opposing cutters at a double angle on the shaft and efficient penetration into the soil. The spinning action of the cutters removes the weeds, roots and all, while simultaneously spinning the removed weeds and roots off the cutter head and blades.

Abstract: An improved multiple purpose golf ball retriever for retrieving golf balls from water hazards. The device comprises an elongated head which has a forward frame, rear frame, upper frame and side frames. The elongated head's handle mount can be permanently attached to a telescoping handle. The telescoping handle is attached to the handle mount on the upper frame offset from its center at a compound angle which aids capturing the ball in the raking mode while also facilitating the use of a wood or putter cover and ease of storage in the golf bag. The side frames inside diameters are slightly smaller than a golf ball which enables the golf ball retriever to capture the ball by going down over the ball from either side at any angle. The retriever can be used as a rake in clear or blind locations and from either side at any angle for clear water or rocky weedy and hazardous water areas that restrict the raking action.

Abstract: A one-step, manually operated apparatus for one-handed flattening and folding of cylindrical crushable containers, so as to enable them to be stored in a smaller space when they are in their normal dimensions, and to flatten them in a manner that the vendor identification marks are readily discernible after flattening.
