Abrading tool blade

A cutting and abrading hand tool is provided with a blade holder of generally rectangular shape and provided on opposite external side walls with parallel longitudinally extending outwardly facing grooves. Interchangeable and disposable blades of tubular form are provided which have various cross-sectional configurations and which have a longitudinally extending slot therein defined by inwardly extending flanges dimensioned to have a slip fit with the grooves of the holder. The holder is provided with abutments at either end of the grooves for securing the blades on the holder. The end portions of the holder having the abutments at one end of the holder are manually flexible inwardly to permit endwise removal and replacement of the blades.
