Tools with multi purposes!

The chainsaw is multipurpose as well.
As shown cutting on the top of the bar it is a cutting tool
Cutting on the bottom of the bar it is a texturing tool.

not something to try at home unless you are Mark Linquist.
 
Ok, This is real for me. Decades ago I ended up with a 4-6” spanner wrench. I never did have anything to use it for, but kept it just in case. When I bought my Axminister chuck there was no method of removal except for the chuck key, that I hate doing. Where is that spanner? Ah! Works perfectly.

Women's makeup sponges work well for anchoring a pointy live center in a finished mortise (there are times...). Other dense foam is good too, but isn't hot pink and blue (I used them for face painting previously). Good for spreading stain and such as well. Better if they don't have makeup on them at the time. Toothpicks and BBQ skewers work for pushing fine wood dust into deep cracks before CA is added. Not good for BBQ afterward.
 
Well, I do more with scrapers than most do. I have long used bevel rubbing cuts with my scrapers. As much as anything, just to see if I can do it, but with the 1/4 round nose profile, I can get a very high slicing/shear cut angle.
