Molding and name plate removal tool

A multifunctional molding and name plate removal tool kit comprising, in combination:

• a generally rectangular thin blade having a longitudinal axis extending between a forward sharpened end and an opposite attachment end, said forward sharpened end including a blade edge formed by first and second converging surfaces generally defining an included angle;
• a blade retainer including an elongate drive rod arm having a blade retaining assembly at one end and a unitary drive head assembly integral with said drive rod arm at the opposite end,
• said blade retaining assembly including a cross bar blade attachment member generally transverse to the drive rod arm, said cross blade attachment member comprising a slot for receipt of said thin blade, and a plurality of fasteners for holding said thin blade in said slot,
• said drive head assembly including an extreme end cylindrical drive rod section having a first diameter, a flared arcuate connecting section (54) joined from the drive rod section to an adjacent handle attachment section having a releasable threaded drive head assembly attachment configuration for engaging a handle having a diameter greater than the drive rod section, a next adjacent rib section, said next adjacent rib section having a diameter greater than the maximum diameter of the handle attachment section;
• and
• a separable handle with a counterbore for receipt of the drive rod section, and a threaded handle attachment configuration for releasably engaging the handle attachment section, said handle further including a end rib section engagement surface for engaging the next adjacent rib section to limit axial movement of the handle and a flared section (62) spaced from the flared arcuate section (54) to protect the threaded releasable attachment configurations by spacing the flared section (62) of the handle from the flared section (54) of the drive head assembly whereby the handle may be unthreaded and removed from the handle attachment section and said drive rod section may be driven by a tool without engaging the threaded drive head assembly attachment configuration.
