Abstract
A combination tool apparatus selectively stows and deploys a plurality of variously configured implements for spreading materials. A housing defines a coupling end portion and includes first and second plate members extending longitudinally from the coupling end portion to define a stowage compartment therebetween. A blade set includes a plurality of blade members respectively defining spreading portions of various configuration. Each of the blade members is angularly displaceable between stowed and deployed positions with respect to the housing. When stowed, each blade member is disposed substantially within the stowage compartment of the housing. When deployed, each blade member has at least a portion extending outward from the stowage compartment. A coupling member disposed at the coupling end portion of the housing is pivotally coupled to the blade members for angular displacement thereabout between the stowed and deployed positions. The blade members are biased to remain in the stowed position.
