Implements for attaching to a hand-held, powered device (e.g., "Weed-Eater" type with extended handle or hand tool) to perform various work or chores (filament cutting, blade cutting, brushing, blowing, mixing, etc.). After disconnecting the device's original implement, an initial, cultivator/cutter implement (10), cylindrical in shape with a substantially solid, circular top (12) and a relatively thin, continuous wall of constant thickness, is attached by an appropriate threaded member (e.g. a nut or bolt, usually with one or more washers) to the bottom end of the powered device (FIGS. 1A-D, 29) through a central opening (13/313). The cultivator's top can include a series of circumferentially spaced, "snap-in" openings (14; e.g. two or more) through and into which other implements (e.g. those of FIGS. 3-20) can be attached (FIGS. 2A & B) with the use of a like number of upwardly extending, "snap" legs (21a & b), the adapter then functioning as a "universal" adapter for changing in and out various work implements as desired by the user, with a quick and easy removal and addition of an implement with "snap-out"/"snap-in," twist actions. The cultivator/adaptor also includes a series of circumferentially spaced, inwardly offset protrusions (16/316) extending down from the circular side wall bottom (15/315), which protrusions dig into and cultivate the ground, removing undesirable vegetation when rotated by the powered device. Side hole sets (17/317) are provided for adding cutting filament sections (18) for supplemental or alternative filament cutting of the "Weed-Eater" type. A protective bottom plate member is also disclosed (FIG. 28).
