Abstract:
1. A multifunction tool for stripping and scraping coatings from surfaces comprising: a first blade having a stripping edge, adapted to strip coatings from surfaces; a second blade having at least one scraping edge, adapted to scrape coatings from surfaces; a carrier plate adapted to retain said second blade and adapted to slidably engage said first blade; fastening means for fixedly engaging said carrier plate to said second blade and slidably engaging said carrier plate to said first blade along a predetermined distance which defines an extended position and a retracted position; and a handle wherein said handle is joined to an end of said first blade opposite said stripping edge wherein said carrier plate and said second blade can shift between said extended position and said retracted position relative to said first blade; wherein said first blade is selectively capable of coming into operative contact with a surface when said carrier plate and said second blade are in a retracted position relative to said first blade; and further wherein said second blade is selectively capable of coming into operative contact with a surface when said carrier plate and said second blade are in an extended position relative to said first blade.
