Caleb Hale Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 A guy at work brought this in and he has no clue what it is. I've never seen one, anybody here have an idea? That's a wingnut on the side that tightens down something else you slide into the hole on top. The pointy piece has beveled edge on both sides, and is a little twisted (not sure if that's on purpose or not). Overall it's pretty small, about 7-8 inches long.

JHCC Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Looks kind of like a paint scraper -- the kind with replaceable bits for cleaning out different profiles of wooden molding before repainting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Hale Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Yeah it does resemble those slim molding paint scrapers. The hole in the top where something else connects is throwing me off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzkill Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I would guess a removable handle fastens in at the top. It would surely make the tool more stable in use to have a good spot to guide it with your other hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notownkid Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 paint scraper I would think the Square hole at the top might be incase your handle was on a sq, shaft and it would also fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branding Iron Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Looks like a woodworking finish scraper to me. Fairly common in different configurations to accommodate needs of project (think of cleaning inside corners for this one). Most of what is encountered now are Stanley scrapers with a 2-4” square or rectangular blade. I wouldn’t use it for scraping paint, lots of newer junk for that!
