For my resistant materials second paper on Monday the theme is "Garden Hand Tools".

We need to know about Single and interchangeable tools and i was wondering what you would use on the tool to make it interchangeable so that the head of the tool could be changed into about 3 tools e.g. a trowel, small fork, small rake.

So, what type of joining (fabricating) would you use?

Any information you have on garden hand tools would be useful as well please.

Thanks :)
How would you do the threaded or pinned connection?

Threads wear out too easy I think i'd go with the pin connection like vacuum cleaners use. it is a spring loaded pin that can be depressed to slide of one head to change it to another. More than one of the pins can be used for more strength. Naturally the handle would have to be hollow, therefore metal.

Price: $39.99

Attractively packaged, this is a great tool set for any gardeners who wish to keep their tools neat and organized!
This is not your average outdoor gardening set, but rather a small interpretation for precise gardening.
Great as a Mother's Day gift or for any other garden-lovers on that special occasion... or if you simply want an easier way to stay organized!

I have a combo tool. It blows the dirt, leaves etc. to create a pile with certain attachment. With a different attachments it sucks the pile of dry leaves into the bag attached that could be emptied in a waste can. Lately, it blows so hard (even after turtle/hare adjustment), that it really blows out mulch(naturally hardened over 18 months) from the flowerbed along with the dry leaves. On the other hand, its suction has gotten so weak, that the nozzle has to be held steady within an inch of the surface (say driveway, steps), to pickup the dry leaves.
I would like to increase the suction power, so I can walk around sweeping the area. At the same time, I would like to reduce the blowing power, so I can slowly move the dry leaves in a nice pile in a corner.
Thanks in advance.

the only way to do that is to regulate the throttle or the air intake hope this helps

my teacher gave me a sheet all about garden hand tools so our class could prepare for the exam on monday and it said on it that most interchangeable hand tools can be released and changed with just a simple push of a button. This means that many different heads and handles can be used according to what you need to do.

He also gave us a list of materials usually used for garden hand tools, these were stainless steel, high carbon steel, ash (hardwood), polypropylene, pressed steel and forged manganese steel.

A useful website with information on their own garden hand tools is www.bulldoghandtools.co.uk
this website also has a video to show how the tools are made

I hope this helps and good luck in the exam tomorrow!

what tool works best on that?

A pick,shovel,and chainsaw or axe/hatchet.In years gone by,if the stumps are very big one would drill as many holes as possible as big around and deep as possible straight down into stump.Next kerosene,or any other type oily type fuel would be poured in and allowed to soak in over time (a day or so) and even repeated.Then fire was set.Repeat as necessary.
