Abstract
A tool for use in transferring labels and appliques from one surface to another surface and for removing materials from a surface. The tool includes an elongated tool body having a taper portion, a grip portion and a blunt portion axially spaced along a longitudinal axis of the tool. The grip portion includes an enlarged area to be gripped by a user and is covered with a resilient cover material which is softer than the material of the tool body. The taper portion extends from a first longitudinal end of the tool body and includes sides tapering to a point which may be used for punching out small dye cuts, positioning stickers, or applying rub-on transfers. The blunt portion extends from a second longitudinal end of the tool body and is formed as an elongated, flexible portion of the tool which may be used to separate photographs attached to photo album pages.
