The Clyde full-size McLeod hand tool with a steel head and wooden handle.

Built for real ground

Clyde is the full-size McLeod that meets the earth with intent—rake on one edge, hoe on the other, and steel where it counts.

Field quiet

The day’s work, in one hand

One head, two jobs

Hours stretch longer when tools quit early. Clyde carries a steel head that moves soil, brush, and duff without fuss, then flips to carve and pack. The bolt-on handle swaps out in minutes when life gets hard on gear. Built for trail crews and market beds that don’t slow down.

Order in the rough

Good ground work is repetition—cut, pull, level, repeat. A full-size McLeod means fewer trips back to the shed and a steadier rhythm on the line. Clyde keeps pace from first dig to last rake-out, whether you’re shaping switchbacks or pulling rows straight. Assembled in Colorado, it’s made for people who put in the miles.

For hands in the soil

Trail builders, market gardeners, land stewards, and anyone tired of replacing flimsy tools.

In practice

Keep Clyde on-site to rake debris, pull duff, shape tread, and hoe compacted ground without changing tools.
