A long handled gardening tool comprising a stamped single piece tool head coupled to a long handle, the long handle being of a length to allow for manipulation of substrate supporting a tool operator with the operator in a standing position upon the substrate, the stamped single piece tool head comprising:
- opposing coupling members embracing opposing sides of one end of the long handle;
- each individual coupling member extending to a lateral member, each lateral member extending to a strip;
- each strip merging to define sides of a chevron;
- the chevron, strips, and lateral members defining an opening within the tool head;
- the chevron being angled from the strips and defining a base, the base supporting the tool upon the substrate during the manipulation of the substrate by the operator;
- the chevron further defining individual leading and trailing edges extending to an apex of the chevron;
- each of the individual leading edges defining a group of pointed teeth and gullets bounded by two straight portions;
- one of the two straight portions extending between strips and the group of pointed teeth and gullets;
- the other of two straight portions extending between the apex and the group of pointed teeth and gullets;
- the other two straight portions merging to form the apex, and being beveled;
