A gas-assisted scraping tool includes a housing having a blade support with a cavity that is connectable to a source of a pressurized gas; a blade attached to and extending forwardly of the blade support; and a diffuser attached to the blade support and spacing the blade from the cavity, the diffuser shaped to direct a stream of the pressurized gas from within the cavity lengthwise along the blade and distribute the pressurized gas transversely across a width of the blade, whereby material loosened by the blade is blown away from an end of the blade by the stream of the pressurized gas.

A multipurpose floor demolition tool enables removing, scraping, manipulating, and replacing a floor and floor covering and components without having to bend down, and with a lesser application of force. The tool provides a plate that is sufficiently flat, and has a straight scraping edge for scraping, flipping over, and prying floor components. The plate forms a central aperture for prying a nail from the floor. The plate has a first curvilinear edge defined by a claw for tearing and prying floor components. The plate has a second edge defined by a tab for prying floor components. A portion of the first and second edges are perpendicular to the straight scraping edge, such that the first and second edges simultaneously engage a floor. A handle joins with the straight mounting edge to enable manipulation of the plate and provide leverage for prying and scraping floor components with the plate.

A scraping tool includes a first holding member having a first through-groove between a first holding portion and a first connecting portion. A second holding member includes a second through-groove between a second holding portion and a second connecting portion. The second connecting portion is connected to the first connecting portion to permit the second holding member to sway relative to the first holding member between a holding position and an extended position. A locking device includes first and second abutting portion respectively abutting against the first and second holding member and a sliding portion slideably extending through the first and second through-groove. The locking device is movable relative to the first and second holding member between a locking position in which the second holding member is in the holding position and a release position in which the second holding member is movable to the extended position.

Disclosed is a cleaning device with an auxiliary cleaner. More particularly, a cleaning device having an auxiliary cleaner includes a bar-shaped grip extending in a vertical direction, a rigid main cleaner having a tubular housing coupled to a bottom of the grip and a plurality of frames extending from a bottom of the housing and spaced apart from each other by a predefined spacing, and the auxiliary cleaner coupled to a bottom of the main cleaner, wherein the auxiliary cleaner contacts a cleaning target as the main cleaner deforms.

An apparatus and system for removing residue from surfaces to be cleaned includes a detail cleaner that can be mounted to a handle or pole. The detail cleaner includes a pole attachment portion with a head portion having a face set substantially 45 degrees relative to the handle. The face includes a recess that tapers inwardly for the insertion and seating of an interchangeable scraper and a coupling for an interchangeable scrubbing pad with plate.

A collapsible snow paddle. The paddle includes an elongated handle, a rotatable coupling affixed to one end of the handle, and a generally planar snow remover, the rotatable coupling affixed to a rear surface of the remover so that the remover may be collapsed against the handle for storage and extended transverse to the handle for use. The snow remover may have a scraper edge inclined at an angle relative to the surface of the snow remover for scraping ice and a relatively soft capped edge for removing snow.
