Tools
Utility Knife
 A
utility knife typically has a replaceable and retractable
blade. Can be used for all kinds of jobs that require
slicing or cutting. The blade is usually a standard
double sided heavy duty razor.

Scraper / Putty Knife
A spatula used for scraping
surfaces or spreading material. Widths from 1 1/4" to
5" or 6" are commonly available. Stiff-blade knives,
typically 1 mm or .040" thick, are suitable for scraping.
Flexible-blade knives, typically 0,5 mm or .020" thick, are
suitable for spreading. Disposable knives, with handle and
blade molded as a single piece of plastic, are suitable for
occasional jobs such as spreading body filler or sealant
when cleanup is difficult or uses harmful solvents.
Razor Blade Scraper
A razor blade scraper uses
standard razor blades. The blades are replaceable and
the tool typically allows the blade to be retracted for
safety. This tool is useful for scraping on delicate
or smooth surfaces. They work well removing decals,
gaskets, and scraping objects off of glass surfaces.

Gasket
Scraper
This tool is
very similar to a standard scraper but is typically designed
for scraping gaskets. The tool usually features a
screwdriver like handle and a replaceable blade. Some
use standard razor blades.
Recommendation
Set of
putty/scrapers, utility knife, and razor blade knife.
Specialized gasket scrapers should be considered optional.
