A HEPA-qualified coating removal system, coating removal tool, and method is disclosed. The HEPA-qualified coating removal system comprises a HEPA-vacuum coupled to a coating removal tool via a vacuum line. A method of using the HEPA-qualified coating removal system includes, but is not limited to, the steps of the user putting on appropriate protective equipment, connecting the vacuum line of the HEPA-vacuum to an outlet of the coating removal tool, activating the HEPA-vacuum, using scraping motion of coating removal tool to strip a surface and the resulting loose debris being removed by suction force from the environment, deactivating the HEPA-vacuum, and disposing of the debris collected in the HEPA vacuum.

A surface scraper tool for removing coating from a smooth flat surface with a blade holder having a bottom surface defining a surface plane and a lateral guide face defining a guide plane and with a blade protruding from the front of the blade holder forming a predefined scraping angle with the surface plane and a sharp edge extending across the whole width of the blade holder in the surface pane and not extending beyond the guide plane.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure include a tool configured to attach to a handle, the tool being multifunctional. The tool may include a housing having a closed end and an open end, the open end defining a cavity sized to accommodate a handle; and a tool end extending from the closed end of the housing, wherein the tool end includes at least one scraper, a nail puller, and a screwdriver.

An ergonomic vacuum-assist scraper tool has an arcuately curved head in which a scraper blade is mounted at either of a front position or a rear position, a handle or grip portion, and a tubular connector portion adapted to receive a male or female vacuum hose fitting. The head has a cavity defined between front and back walls, with the front and back walls converging along an arc to a mouth or slot opening. The grip portion is hollow and tubular, extending proximally from the head, to the vacuum hose-accepting tubular connector. A scraper blade can be removably mounted at either of the blade mounting positions. The tool is formed of upper and lower halves that snap together along a partition line.

A hanging structure for a painting tool includes a body, a knife board, and two side covers. The body comprises an abutting part on a bottom surface, a protruding board, and two buckling recesses. A clamping slot is formed between the abutting part and the protruding board, whereas the two buckling recesses are in both ends of the body, respectively, and each buckling recess has a first engaging part. The knife board is assembled into the clamping slot, so it can abut the abutting part. The two side covers are assembled into the two buckling recesses, respectively. Each side cover has a second engaging part that engages with the first engaging part, and at least one side cover has a hanging part that protrudes from the outer surface of the side cover. The second engaging part is engaged with the first engaging part, whereas the hanging part protrudes from the outer surface of the side cover.

A wiping device for removing fluid material from a mixing paddle. The wiping device includes a contact portion and an accumulation portion that downwardly extends from a lower end of the contact portion. A passage extends through the contact portion and the accumulation portion and is adapted for receiving the mixing paddle therethrough. An upper portion of the passage is located within the contact portion and is sized and shaped to contact opposed sides of the mixing paddle to wipe the fluid material off of the opposed sides of the mixing paddle when the contact portion is moved along the opposed sides of the mixing paddle. A lower portion of the passage located within the accumulation portion forms a cavity in fluid flow communication with the upper portion of the passage in the contact portion.

A cutting device is disclosed. The cutting device has a housing, a cutting assembly that is movably disposed in the housing, the cutting assembly including a body member, an actuating member, and a first urging member that is configured to urge the actuating member away from the body member, from an inner position toward an outer position relative to the body member, by applying a first urging force, and a second urging member that is configured to urge the cutting assembly to retract within the housing by applying a second urging force that urges the actuating member to move from an extended position toward a retracted position relative to the housing. The housing includes at least one recess.

An auto-retract scraper is described herein. The auto-retract scrape comprises a housing, a slider, a blade, a rotating hard stop, and a torsion spring. The rotating hard stop is rotated clockwise forcing the blade forward and out of the housing when the slider is engaged.

A multi-function paint stir spatula has a beveled putty knife at one end of the spatula for applying putty and/or scraping dry paint, one or two indentations along one or both edges of the spatula that define a straight squeegee between each indentation and the other end of the spatula for scraping wet paint from the inside wall of a can of paint, a curved, roller squeegee indentation on one edge of the spatula for scraping wet paint from a paint roller, and a serrated, brush cleaning comb on the other edge of the spatula for scraping wet paint from a paint brush. One particular embodiment has two indentations on opposing edges that define two squeegees of different length: one for gallon-sized cans of paint and the other for quart-sized cans of paint.

A multi-functional tool includes a multi-flanged body and an auxiliary implement attached thereto for assisting a user to install drywall. In use, the tool is attached over the end of a drywall tool and is secured in place. A first end of the tool provides a surface to aid in driving nails, removing obstructions and the like. The opposite second end provides a hex holder to hold a screwdriver bit to aid in recessing any drywall screws that need recessed.
