Abstract: A cutting tool comprising a body, an aperture defined through the body, a blade coupled to the body, and at least one protrusion extending from the body into the aperture. The blade has a cutting edge extending into the aperture. The protrusion(s) has(have) an end portion proximate the cutting edge and configured to impede access to the cutting edge. The protrusion(s) may be flexible, such that limited access to the cutting edge is permitted in a flexed state.

Abstract: A hand held tool for the uniform compressing, forming and simultaneous cleaning of a previously applied bead of caulking or other similar fluent material from a constructed joint. The tool includes an elongated handle and triangular head with working edges, the working edges being essentially an arrow-like shaped pieced or rubber-like material fixed to and extending slightly beyond the acute isosceles triangular shaped head portion of the tool at the extremity opposite an elongated handle, the acute angle of the working edges at the extremity is slightly rounded. The head and the handle contain a continuous longitudinal cavity provided for the collection of excess material gathered during the operation of the tool and in the preferred embodiment the head and handle are essentially molded as one unit in resilient plastic material with the handle expanding in a fan-like shape the outer angles of the head.

Abstract: A hand held tool for the removal of a cured bead of caulk, sealant or other previously fluent material from a joint between substantially perpendicular surfaces. The tool comprises an elongate handle with two working heads. The primary working head at one end of the longitudinal axis of the handle features a chisel-like point angled down from the upper face of the handle and extending between two symmetrical flanking planes which are acutely angled to each other and also spread from the body of the handle. The planes are bevelled to form sharp edges for scraping surfaces during an operation to remove a bead whilst the chisel-like point chisels the body of the bead from the joint. Axially opposite the primary head the second working head is essentially an angled chisel-like point extended from the upper face of the handle and is used to chisel, pick or gouge a bead from a joint.
