ABSTRACT:
An improved paint scraper to permit a user minimum arm fatigue and cramping due to the paint scraper including a blade for scraping paint from a surface by pulling or pushing the blade along the surface while the blade is held in pressure contact with the surface. The paint scraper includes a handle carrying the blade with the handle having a first cylindrical portion suitable for grasping in different hand positions with a thumb and fingers of a user's hand and a lever arm extending from the handle, with the lever arm extending substantially at a right angle to the handle and having an opening therein sufficiently large so as to permit insertion and repositioning of a user's forearm therein with the lever arm having an arm cradle having an arcuate shape for engaging an extended portion of a user's forearm with the arm cradle extending substantially crosswise across a portion of the forearm of the user's forearm so that when the user's fingers and thumb grasp the handle the user's forearm engages the arm cradle to permit application of pressure to the blade through both the hand and the forearm of the user even though the user may periodically reposition his or her hand and forearm on the paint scraper.
