5 Long Handle Yard Tools

FIVE LONG-HANDLED LAWN AND GARDEN TOOLS - VIGORO ACTION HOE, TRUE TEMPER ROUND POINT SHOVEL, TOPMOST BOW RAKE, SPRING-TINE LEAF RAKE, AND ONE T-HEAD HOE OR CHOPPING TOOL A five-piece group of long-handled yard and garden tools, all wood handled and all shot laid out on the garage floor. The group includes a Vigoro Action Hoe stirrup-type weeder and edger with its original handle label still readable, a True Temper round point shovel with the green Basics-line label on the handle, a TopMost bow rake with curved steel tines and a black ferrule, a spring-tine metal leaf rake, and a fifth long-handled tool with a narrow flat steel cross-head that reads as an old hoe or chopping tool. Handle lengths run roughly 58 to 70 inches. This is the working set of yard tools out of a garage rather than a collector group, and it suits a homeowner, rent house, farm, or someone setting up a first tool shed. Fits alongside the tool tote, the socket sets, and the hand truck in the garage block of this sale. The shovel blade carries heavy rust, several handles are weathered and stained, and NOTHING in this lot was tested, sharpened, or checked for a loose or cracked handle. Sold as a lot of five tools. Description Vigoro Action Hoe - long light wood handle with a green painted grip section at the top end, and a stirrup or loop-shaped steel blade head at the working end with a chrome or bright steel bracket where the loop meets the handle.

Overall length measures approximately 58 to 59 inches per the tape-measure photograph. The label is cracked, chipped, and partly lifted; the warranty printed on it is a manufacturer's original and is NOT transferable or honored by the auction in any way. True Temper round point shovel - round point steel blade with a closed back and a long tapered wood handle. The green label on the handle reads verbatim: TRUE TEMPER, Basics, Seasoned ash handle for strength and durability, Manche en frne avec couche de scellement pour solidit et durabilit, Mango de fresno sellado para su solidez y durabilidad, with a 5 in a circle for a five-year limited warranty. Overall length measures approximately 57 to 58 inches per the tape-measure photograph. The blade is heavily rusted over its entire face and back. TopMost bow rake - fourteen-tine curved steel garden rake head on a curved bow bracket with a black ferrule at the handle joint, wood handle stamped or printed TopMost in black. Overall length measures approximately 64 to 65 inches per the tape-measure photograph. Head measures approximately 14 to 15 inches across. Spring-tine leaf rake - fan-shaped rake with roughly twenty-two flat spring steel tines, a flat steel back brace across the tines, and a bright metal ferrule and brace assembly at the handle joint, on a wood handle. Overall length measures approximately 65 to 70 inches per the tape-measure photograph. Head spread measures approximately 22 to 24 inches across the tines. Fifth tool, T-head hoe or chopping tool - long light gray weathered wood handle with a rusted flat steel bar head set at a right angle to the shaft, the cross-bar measuring roughly 8 to 9 inches long and narrow, mounted on a round steel shank that runs up into the wood handle. The exact type of this tool is NOT identified - it reads as an old weeding or chopping hoe, a shop-made tool, or possibly an ice or concrete chipper - and no maker, type, or purpose is claimed for it. Overall length measures approximately 65 to 66 inches per the tape-measure photograph. In every measuring frame the tape lies flat on the concrete floor alongside or in front of the tool rather than hooked on the end of it, so all of the lengths above are close estimates only. Blade widths, tine counts, and head sizes were taken by eye from the photographs and no individual measurement was verified. Bidders should verify all dimensions from the photographs. Photographed on a bare concrete garage floor. The red plastic tote or bin and the cardboard box visible at the edges of two photographs are NOT part of this lot. Attribution note True Temper is a long-established American hand and garden tool brand, and the green Basics label on this shovel identifies its economy homeowner line rather than a professional or vintage-era tool. Vigoro is a lawn and garden consumer brand, and the Action Hoe name and the #70185 number are quoted directly off the handle label, not from any catalog. TopMost appears here only as printing on the rake handle and is treated as a hardware-store or house brand. No production dates, decades, or vintage-era attribution are claimed for any tool in this lot; the printed labels are modern retail labels and these are used homeowner-grade tools rather than collecti
