    Abstract: A multi-functional hand tool is provided having a handle portion to be held by a user. The handle portion is made to receive a plurality of different types of tool attachments. To secure these tool attachments, a plurality of slots are machined into an attachment portion of the hand tool. The attachment portion is simply a rigid element which can receive, retain and rigidly secure one of the tool attachments within one of the slots. The slots are sized differently to accommodate various marketed tool attachments, such as jig saw blades, reciprocating saw blades, utility knives, et. al. Further, putty knives, and striking implements can be made bearing a suitable tang for engaging one of the slots. The device is meant to be used as an all purpose sawing, cutting, scraping, spreading and striking implement which would replace a great deal of expensive tools commonly needed by apartment dwellers, students, and "do-it-yourselfers".
