Abstract
A hand held garden tool configured to enhance downward force for digging and raking. The tool has a rod frame which extends from a working element attached to the tool at the front end of the tool to a brace located at the rear of the tool. The brace rests on the user's wrist or forearm, so that additional force is developed when the working element is urged downwardly into the ground. A handle depends from the frame at a point between the working element and the brace. Vertical orientation of the handle is more natural and comfortable than would be a horizontal orientation. The handle is provided with a molded grip for cooperating with a user's hand. The tool has a chuck for accepting diverse working heads, and preferably is provided with a plurality of diverse working heads. Exemplary working heads include rake, spade, and pry.
