7. The hand held personal tool for use to reseat and repair sod of claim 1, wherein the forked end is approximately 1\xbd inches in length.
8. The hand held personal tool for use to reseat and repair sod of claim 1, wherein the concave recession faces upward when the forked end of said tool is inserted into the ground.
9. The hand held personal tool for use to reseat and repair sod of claim 8, wherein the concave recession is approximately \xbe of an inch wide.
10. The hand held personal tool for use to reseat and repair sod of claim 9, further comprising a means for supporting a cigar.
11. The hand held personal tool for use to reseat and repair sod of claim 10, wherein the handle is made from wood inserts, composite materials, and mother of pearl.
12. The hand held personal tool for use to reseat and repair sod of claim 11, wherein said handle is approximately 3 inches long.
13. The hand held personal tool for use to reseat and repair sod of claim 12, wherein the attachment mechanism is located on the side of the handle opposite the side that a switch button and the round ball marker are located.
14. The hand held personal tool for use to reseat and repair sod of claim 13, wherein the attachment mechanism is removable.
15. The hand held personal tool for use to reseat and repair sod of claim 14, wherein the belt clip is made of plastic or metal in an injection molding process requiring the design and use of custom molds.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
