Implements for scoundrels (5)
I believe the answer is:
rakes
This clue might be a double definition.
'implements' is the first definition.
(rake is a kind of implement)
'scoundrels' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rakes that I've seen before include "men who are dissipated" , "Tools with tines" , "Libertines or garden tools" , "Inclinations" , "Dissolute men" .)
