Abstract
A paint scraper tool includes a blade member and a handle member extending at an angle thereto. The blade member has an upper and a lower surface, and the tool includes side gusset members mounted on the blade member upper side. The handle member extends at an acute angle rearwardly from the blade member and toward the blade member upper side. The tool includes a beveled front edge thereon, for ease of scraping, the beveled edge having awl points therein to facilitate scraping of cracks, crevices, corners and the like. The tool also includes curved blade surfaces, for use in scraping rounded surfaces such as furniture legs. For the preferred embodiment, the side gusset members and tool handle cooperate to provide a particularly advantageous system. Further, the gusset members form sides of a trough in which paint scrapings may be received, during use of the tool. Preferably the tool is formed from a single piece of molded plastic material or the like.
