ABSTRACT:
A tool for use in removing the outer sheet metal skin of an automobile door. The tool includes an elongated body having a generally longitudinal axis. A shank is located at one end of the body for connection to a reciprocating apparatus such as an air hammer. A cutting portion is located at the opposite end of the elongated body. The cutting portion of the tool includes a somewhat flattened area extending from the end of the tool. A pair of fingers are located at the cutting end of the tool and project outwardly from the flattened area side of the body. The fingers extend generally at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the body and are spaced apart a sufficient distance to straddle the outer edge of an automobile door to guide the tool during cutting. A narrow cutting tooth is formed on the flattened area of the cutting portion of the tool and is positioned to engage the edge of the automobile door when the fingers are straddling the edge. The cutting tool projects below the flattened area a distance approximately equal to the thickness of the sheet metal forming the outer skin of the automobile door. A slot located adjacent the cutting tooth extends through the body to permit passage of scrap cut from the sheet metal skin. The cutting portion of the tool is bent relative to the longitudinal axis of the tool body. A guide surface is formed between the fingers to engage the edge of the door and properly align the cutting tooth relative thereto. The cutting tooth is substantially as wide as the slot located adjacent the cutting tooth.
