This craftsman tool was in a box lot I bought at an auction and I cannot figure out what it does. The craftsman number on it does not bring up anything at Sears and there is nothing like it on e-bay. In the second picture those are inches on the tool. My best guess so far is a garden tool??

i would guess garden tool, also. is there a sears number on the tool?
-
Yes, there is a sears number but it doesn't lead anywhere, get a page that says no longer listed.
-
what is the number ???
-
That handle leaves much to be desired.
-
In large letters it says CRAFTSMAN on the blade, then near the handle it says Y6 and under it 40106 and under it Made in China.
-
Best guess, it is a bulb planter, the measurements show the depth so you can plant your bulbs at the correct depth.
-
Also, there is a sharpened notch in the end, somewhat like a skinning knife and one side is sharpened and the other is saw like and also sharp.
-
For cutting through roots.

It is indeed a gardening tool- a modified variant of the traditional Japanese Hori-hori digging knife. My local hardware store had some similar ones labeled "Planter's Pal"
