Abstract
A specifically configured gardening implement including an arced extension between the handle and the tool component. Such an implement permits greater versatility and facilitates typical gardening operations without losing any tool-using capabilities. Such an arced extension leads from a standard elongated, straight handle to the edge of a tool component, providing an ergonomic disposition of the tool in relation to the handle itself. In such a manner the arced extension allows for greater reach from a standing position, as well as the ability to adjust the actual handling of the overall implement to different angles without the need for uncomfortable and/or possibly. harmful repositioning by the user, as well. The inclusion of different tool components within the base handle/extension structure are also encompassed within the invention.
