Abstract
The rotary tool for spreading particulate materials from a mound of the same. The tool has an elongated shaft with a rotatable body mounted proximate a first end thereof. The body has a peripheral edge with a plurality of flexible fingers radiating outwardly therefrom. The rotatable body has an upper surface and a center axis in the upper surface. The tool includes a motor which, when activated, causes the rotatable body to rotate about its center axis. As the rotatable body rotates, the fingers engage the particulate materials and cause the pieces to be flicked outwardly away from the rotating body. The tool may also be used as a shovel-type device when the motor is not activated.
