Shows kickstand deployment + full self-cleaning stroke in real dirt
What it does
- Stands upright alone — hinged multi-point kickstand deploys in seconds. No more bending to pick it up. Grip stays clean.
- Cleans itself in one stroke — handle-sleeve wiper scrapes the entire blade face clean of soil, clay, and grass. Spring + magnetic return locks it rigid again.
- Built for real work — reduces back strain on job sites, truck stops, farms, and municipal crews.
