Abstract: A scraping tool system includes a scraping tool, tools, and a holster with pockets for receiving and holding the scraping tool and the tools. The scraping tool has a handle member, a rod, a spring mechanism, and a lever mechanism. The rod is sized to be fitted within a channel of the handle member and includes a tool attaching portion. The rod is attached to the spring mechanism which, in turn, is fitted between the rod and a base portion of the handle member which includes a tapping heel plate. The lever mechanism is mechanically coupled to the handle member and to the spring mechanism and is adapted to reposition the rod along the channel in response to a movement of a portion of the lever mechanism relative to the handle member. The tools each include a mounting portion formed such that the tool is mechanically coupled to an end portion of the handle member when the lever mechanism is in a tool securing position.

Abstract: A letter opening device is provided. The letter opening device includes a generally rectangular body having a letter opening blade for opening envelopes.

Abstract: A utility knife/box cutter includes an ergonomically-shaped handle portion with exterior stippling to provide a good grasp upon the knife. Within the handle portion, a channel member is received in a forwardly extending cavity and movably receives a cutting blade carrier for longitudinal movement relative to the handle portion. A cutter blade carried in the blade carrier is moveable between a storage position entirely within the handle portion and successively further forward use and replacement positions. Also received into the handle portion is a spare blade holder member pivotal between a blade retaining position entirely within the handle portion and a blade releasing position in which a forward part of the spare blade holder member is pivoted out of the handle portion to present spare blades for removal and transfer to the cutting blade carrier.
