A-rake-a-hoe

A combination raking and hoeing apparatus comprising:

• a handle having a longitudinal axis having an adjusting means and a tool attached to one end of the handle;
• the tool comprising a rake portion having tines and a hoe portion, the rake and hoe portions attached to the handle by a T-shaped head portion;
• the T-shaped head portion having a cross portion having a midpoint along its length, and a leg portion having an open end, the cross portion extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle and having a plurality of spaced apertures into which individual tines are inserted, the leg portion extending perpendicularly from the midpoint of the cross portion, wherein the handle is inserted into the open end of the leg portion and rigidly attached thereto,
• the hoe portion having an elongated blade with ears extending perpendicularly from each end of the blade, each ear having means for attachment to the cross portion of the head,
• the adjusting means having a lever for locking and unlocking the position of the head such that the hoe element, attached to the cross portion of the head is slidably adjustable along the length of the tines with the head,
• wherein positioning the lever in the locked position prevents the movement of the head and positioning the lever in the unlocked position allows the head, with the hoe portion attached thereto, to move freely along the length of the tines.
