A tool head including a metal, generally U-shaped body with two tines and a curved area, and a metal rod integral to and extending from the curved area of the U-shaped head. Each of the two tines has a tip, a tine body, and an end that joins with the curved area. One tip is straight and one tip is angled so that the angled tip is not coplanar with the plane defined by the tine bodies of the two tines. A tool including the tool head, a handle with a ferrule end and a non-ferrule end, where the handle is integral to the metal rod of the tool head at the ferrule end, and a metal ferrule integral to the handle at the ferrule end of the handle.
