Abstract
A tool attachment configured to remove a wheel weight from a vehicle wheel is disclosed. The tool attachment comprising a body. The body include an exterior surface, a first end, and a second end. A mounting surface is positioned on a first portion of the body proximate to the first end. The mounting surface is configured to abut a tool. An opening extends from the mounting surface to the exterior surface of the body. The opening is configured to receive a fastener to secure the body to the tool. A blade engage surface is positioned on a second portion of the body proximate to the second end. The blade engaging surface is configured to receive and secure a blade to the body. A tool including the tool attachment and a method of using the tool attachment are also disclosed.

A tool attachment comprising:
- a body extending along a first axis, the body comprising an exterior surface, a first end and a second end;
- a mounting surface positioned on a first portion of the body proximate to the first end, the mounting surface configured to abut a tool;
- an opening extending from the mounting surface to the exterior surface of the body, the opening configured to receive a fastener to secure the body to the tool;
- and
- a blade engaging surface positioned on a second portion of the body proximate to the second end, the blade engaging surface configured to receive and secure a blade to the body, wherein
- the blade engaging surface comprises at least one projection configured to insert into a corresponding recess on the blade.
A tool comprising:
- a structure configured to oscillate, rotate, or vibrate, the structure comprising a tool attachment receiving surface;
- a tool attachment connected to the structure, the tool attachment comprising:
- a body extending along a first axis, the body comprising an exterior surface, a first end and a second end,
- a mounting surface positioned on a first portion of the body proximate to the first end, the mounting surface abutting the tool attachment receiving surface, and
- a blade engaging surface positioned on a second portion of the body proximate to the second end;
- and
- a blade secured to the blade engaging surface, wherein
- the blade engaging surface comprises at least one projection configured to insert into a corresponding recess on the blade.
