Abstract

Farming tool systems may include a handle shaft and a farming tool that detachably connects to the handle shaft via a locking bit and a locking port that includes a socket. In some embodiments, a multi-head attachment may include one or more farming tools that slide laterally along a rail (perpendicular to the shaft length) and another farming tool that does not slide along the rail. In some embodiments, the farming tool(s) is a hoe. The farming tool(s) may be in the form of a wire that includes flat portions located inside a crimp to prevent the wire from rotating within the crimp and a forward portion that may be, for example, generally triangular in shape.

Claims (18)

1. A farming tool system comprising:

a) a handle shaft having a rear end, a forward end, a shaft length extending from the rear end to the forward end, and a shaft width generally perpendicular to the shaft length;

b) a handle socket located adjacent to the shaft forward end; and

c) a farming tool comprising a farming tool rear end, a farming tool forward end, a farming tool length extending from the farming tool forward end to the farming tool rear end, a rod comprising a rod rear end at the farming tool rear end, a rod forward end, a tool collar in the form of a crimp and comprising a tool collar interior, and at least one wire extending forwardly from the tool collar interior to the farming tool forward end,

wherein the rod rear end is releasably inserted into the handle socket,

wherein the rod is partially located in the tool collar interior,

wherein the rod extends rearwardly from the tool collar interior to the farming tool rear end parallel to the shaft length, and

wherein the tool collar further comprises an indented top portion, and an indented bottom portion,

wherein the at least one wire comprises two rear wire segments,

wherein the rod comprises a forward segment located in the tool collar interior between the two rear wire segments,

wherein the two rear wire segments each comprise a flat top portion and a flat bottom portion,

wherein the tool collar indented top portion engages the flat top portion of each of the two rear wire segments and the tool collar indented bottom portion engages the flat bottom portion of each of the two rear wire segments and

further wherein the two rear wire segments are not rotatable within the tool collar interior.

2. The farming tool system of claim 1 wherein the rod rear end is removable from the handle socket by moving the rod rear end forwardly out of the handle socket.

3. The farming tool system of claim 1 wherein the at least one wire and the rod are comprised of different materials.

4. The farming tool system of claim 1 wherein the indented top portion comprises two top indentations and further wherein the indented bottom portion comprises two bottom indentations.
