My Roto-Shovel is called Beau, LOL! But that does look like a very handy tool! I got the OK as far as placement of the Nanking Bush Cherries, today. Get excited! :)

What I'm currently lusting after is a cordless Weed Whacker. Any recommendations on those?

Since the remaining crop land is now paid off, I get to keep ALL of my SS deposit from 'Uncle Sugar' each month. So far, I've been stashing it, but my Wish List includes, but is not limited to:

Cordless Weed Whacker (will come in handy for around my raised beds)

Re-chargeable 'Shark' Vacuum (really, any brand is fine as long as it has good ratings)

Wall-Mounted Laundry Drying Rack for the Laundry Room

A second 2-3 shelf Grow Light set-up (Not opposed to shelving and bricks - Old School!)

Cute Cabana Boy on call 24/7 in the Summer months, even though my 'pool' is a prone-to-leaking stock tank, LOL!

I have an EGO. My brother recommended it & so far, so good. Batteries are heavy, but last a good while & charge back up pretty fast. All of their tools run on the same batteries so I bought the chainsaw without a battery & use the one that came with the weed trimmer. I have an EGO blower, too.

EGO has a Powerload for reloading the string & this is how it works:

EGO is pricey, so that’s a downside.

*** Re-chargeable ‘Shark’ Vacuum (really, any brand is fine as long as it has good ratings)***

We have a Dyson V-10 stick rechargeable vacuum. Got it a few years ago, and love it. Get the caddy that all the tools lock in to. We bought it on a Black Friday sale and it’s been a winner. So handy. Not cheap, so keep your eye out for sales. By now they’ve probably come out with a newer version with more features.

I can’t help you with the cute Cabana boy, but I bet your Beau is up to the task!

Oh, and back to the Roto-shovel. This tool comes in handy when Mr. Muscles has an injury, or rheumatism. Or if he just can’t be motivated by other means. ;)
