Abstract: A vibrating motor attached to a pole which has a plate for securing a working pad at the far end for application to a subject surface. The working pad may be sandpaper, a buffing pad, etc. The extension pole removes the vibrating sander from the vicinity of the working surface, thus eliminating the possibility of shorts or other damage to the vibrating motor where the surface is wet, dusty, etc. In the preferred embodiment, the vibration motor can rotate to be at different angles to the extension pole to allow different angles of application. The plate attached to the far end of the extension pole is similarly rotatable to fit the working surface. Both the sanding motor and the working pads may be attached to plates on the ends of the pole by virtue of a hook and loop type fastener (i.e., VELCRO).

Abstract: A baseboard edge taping tool for applying tape to a baseboard edge and cutting the tape upon tilting the tool so that the cut can be placed in a corner and the tool can be used to continue applying tape to another baseboard edge without rethreading the tape. The taping tool has a base with a flat bottom surface for resting on the baseboard edge against which the masking tape is to be applied. A body portion is rotatably mounted to the base so that it can be rotated between a lowered position and a raised position. A spool is mounted to the body portion for holding a roll of masking tape which is fed over a roller at the front end of the body and across the bottom surface of the base. A second roller is mounted to the body adjacent the first roller to hold the tape against the first roller. A cutting mechanism is attached to the base and extends horizontally forward to cut the tape when the body is rotated. The rotation of the body lifts the first roller up and away from a corner.
