Description

Generally rakes, hoes, and picks are available as separate gardening tools and while each such tool provides substantial benefits in cultivating soil and removing garden weeds and debris, their use often proves inconvenient in that more than one tool must be carried to and from the work location. Additionally, time is often lost in switching among an array of cultivating tools. So unless the user is well organized and has planned ahead when gardening by bringing a hoe, rake, and a pick, other trips to gather the tools would be required, taking up additional effort and time. As such, there is a need in the art for the “multipurpose gardening tool” that has a rake, hoe, and pick combination tool, wherein the handle of the tool is balanced relative to each tools part to provide the most effective use of the tool.

FIG. 1 is a perspective side view of the multipurpose gardening tool showing the rake and hoe;

FIG. 2 is an overhead view of the multipurpose gardening tool showing the pick, rake and hoe;

FIG. 3 is a side view of the multipurpose gardening tool showing the rake and hoe;

FIG. 4 is an underside view of the multipurpose gardening tool showing the pick, rake and hoe;

FIG. 5 is the other side view of the multipurpose gardening tool showing the pick, rake and hoe; and,

FIG. 6 is a top view of the multipurpose gardening tool showing the pick, rake and hoe.

The handle of the multipurpose gardening tool is shown broken away in FIGS. 2-5 for convenience of disclosure.
