Tools built and designed outside, for outside.

Backslope Tools was created from the problems we encountered outside while digging trail, planting gardens, and landscaping yards.

We build tools for modern day projects and for folks like you. From trail building to wildland firefighting, from gardening to landscaping, Backslope Tools will get you there.

  • CARRY

    Carrying tools unlike any other on the market. Our carry line is great for those objects too big for one person to handle. These tools will get objects from over here to over there.

  • MEASURE

    Every project begins with an idea. Our measuring tools take that idea into reality. The Backslope Tools line currently contains the Klino, an accurate inclinometer.

CLYDE JR

2025 Singletrack Editor's Choice Award

Clyde Jr. is the lightweight hoe/rake combo tool that packs a punch.

Lockable, stackable, and field repairable, Clyde Jr. takes all the features of the original Clyde at a percentage of the weight. It may be small, but it is mighty.
