Abstract:
1. A tool for removing vegetation from a body of water, said tool comprising: a. an elongated handle having a distal end and a proximal end; b. first and second blades each having a connecting end, an opposite free end, a cutting edge and an opposite unsharpened edge, the connecting ends of said blades being pivotally mounted in overlapping relationship to said handle distal end with a first pin defining a pivot point, the angular orientation of said blades with respect to each other being adjustable through at least two holes formed in an annularly spaced pattern in each of said blades about said pivot point, the holes in one of the blades being sequentially alignable with the holes in the other blade as one blade is pivoted with respect to the other blade about said pivot point; and a removable second pin for selectively locking the angular orientation of said blades, when said blades are locked in at least one of said angular orientations the cutting edges of the blades facing outwardly away from each other, said second pin being securable to any selected pair of aligned holes on said first and second blades.
