A compound garden type or agricultural tool having a handle which is adapted to be fitted to a blade type of implement which is angularly adjustable for use as a spade, shovel or hoe and a fork type implement which is similarly adjustable. Additionally, the fork is adapted to be fitted with a pronged attachment which converts the fork into a rake. The adjustability feature comprises an angulated shoulder surface on the blade and fork type implements and having a projection which is operable to cooperate with a recess and a flat surface in the handle for establishing a straight, inclined, and right angled position for the particular implement engaging the handle.

A multi-purpose compound hand tool, comprising: a handle terminating at one end in bifurcated coupling means including a substantially flat inner surface adjacent a pair of opposing end portions, said flat inner surface being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle and including a single dimple type of recess which is offset from said longitudinal axis, a plurality of implements selectively attachable to said handle, each implement including a like connecting member having a solid body portion of a constant relatively thin thickness which fits between said pair of opposing end portions of said bifurcated coupling means, said body portion additionally having generally flat, mutually perpendicular top and side body surfaces separated by a relatively shorter intermediate generally flat inclined body surface, and defining an acute angle less than 45°with said top surface, said flat surfaces being selectively positioned to abut and be held in a fixed position against said flat inner surface of said bifurcated coupling means providing thereby adjustment of the angle of a particular said implement relative to the handle, and with said inclined body surface including a single nub type of projection engageable with said dimple type of recess in an inclined position of said implement on said handle and further having a height so as to freely fit beneath said flat inner surface of said bifurcated coupling means in both a vertical and horizontal position of said implement on said handle out of engagement with said dimple type of recess.
