Mine is a pretty standard 4-tined garden cultivator. Used to dig trash from headgates & cleaners, when I farmed in western CO years ago. Now on my Ozarks place, in the woods, it saves my back.
It's a walking stick, a little timber jack, a rake, a puller, a pusher, a picker-upper without bending over, a snake holder-downer. Just to make things better, with tines against my chest, it turns my .22 pistol into an almost-.22 rifle, as a stick-stock. Wouldn't be without it. What's yours?

Sounds like it could also be used as a good "Dog Stick" to ward off angry Teeth. lol

It is funny that you mentioned that item. I use one for most of the things you list except the gun rest. It is especially useful for digging debris out of the irrigation drop box screen and for pulling the moss out of the outlet to the reservoir irrigation pipe. It also works great as a gate opener on the aluminum irrigation pipe so you don't have bend over. Handy tool.

The other tools I find very useful are a fence stretcher and the good old High Lift jack.

Yeah, the "Handyman" jack is still a winner, for sure, and the Goldenrod fence stretcher applies to lots of stuff.
Rode my ATV with little 2-axle wagon behind, used the cultivator to pick up 2 loads of kindling/smaller firewood, and never got off the machine. Like, half a pickup load of stuff, and never bent over, once.
Don't know about the dog stick, never needed one. Whatever pistol I've got at the time would handle that, since I'm on my own property, and it's big enough that strays have no business there.
