Tool With Diverting Channels

Abstract

An apparatus comprising a head, an edge, a handle, and a plurality of diverting channels. The head comprises: a first side, a second side, and a lateral side. The lateral side connects the first side and second side. The edge is at the intersection of the first side and the lateral side. The handle is attached to the head. The plurality of diverting channels are on the first side. The diverting channels are configured to direct a material emanating from above to freely flow over the edge.
