A utility knife is provided that has an elongated main body portion and a head assembly that is separate from the main body portion. The main body portion has a handle assembly. A main body fastening mechanism is provided at one distal end of the handle assembly, and a handle assembly fastening mechanism is provided at one end of the handle assembly. A threaded pin pivotally fastens the main body portion to the head assembly by connecting the main body fastening mechanism to the handle assembly fastening mechanism. Accordingly, the head assembly can pivot with respect to the main body portion and handle assembly, so that the utility knife can be configured to cut an object at different angles, which can be particularly useful for the knife to fit in a tight cutting space.

A rake is used to clean nap from between teeth of a nap grip located on the underside of a carpet stretcher. The rake generally has an elongated handle connected to a rake head. Multiple prongs are connected to a leading edge of the rake head. Each prong has a shaft with an end connected to the leading edge of said head and a gradual bend forming a pointed tip substantially perpendicular to the shaft. The prongs are equally spaced to align with alternate spaces of the carpet stretcher gripping element so that the prongs can be drawn along the alternate spaces to remove material from said carpet stretcher gripping element.

A mask adapted to be placed over the mouth of a subject during mouth-to-mouth resuscitation includes a fibrous, central, air-permeable filter portion, a transparent portion surrounding the filter portion, and a stiffening portion surrounding the transparent portion, so that the mask may be grasped by the stiffening portion and visually adjusted through the transparent portion to locate the filter portion over the mouth of the subject.
