       2 . The tool of  claim 1 , wherein the adaptor body of the scrapper tool includes an aperture defined therein sized to receive the first end of the second adaptor member. 
   
   
       3 . The tool of  claim 2 , wherein:
 the second adaptor member includes a first passageway defined through the first end, and   the adaptor body of the scrapper tool includes a second passageway extending from a top surface of the adaptor body to the aperture.   
   
   
       4 . The tool of  claim 3 , wherein the first passageway and the second passageway are in registry with each other when the first end of the second adaptor member is received in the aperture of the adaptor body of the scrapper tool. 
   
   
       5 . The tool of  claim 1 , wherein the scrapper tool includes a first biasing member and a second biasing member, each of the first and second biasing members being positioned between the adaptor body and the scrapper blade receiver, the first and second biasing members biasing the scrapper blade receiver away from the adaptor body. 
   
   
       6 . The tool of  claim 5 , wherein the first and second biasing members comprise first and second springs. 
   
   
       7 . The tool of  claim 6 , wherein the scrapper tool comprises a first bar and a second bar, the first bar being received in a first internal passageway of the first spring and the second bar being received in a second internal passageway of the second spring, each of the first and second bars being coupled to the adaptor body and scrapper blade receiver. 
   
   
       8 . The tool of  claim 7 , wherein each of the first and second bars includes a first threaded end received in a corresponding threaded aperture of the scrapper blade receiver and a second end received in a corresponding passageway defined in the adaptor body. 
   
   
       9 . The tool of  claim 1 , wherein the first adaptor member includes an elongated portion defined between the opposing ends, the elongated portion being configured to be reciprocated through a guard of the reciprocating saw while the reciprocating saw is operated by a user. 
   
   
       10 . A tool for use with a reciprocating saw, the tool comprising:
 a first adaptor member having opposing ends, each opposing end configured to couple with the reciprocating saw;   a second adaptor member configured to couple with the first adaptor member and having a first end; and   a scrapper tool including (i) a cylindrical adaptor body having a first opening sized to receive the first end of the second adaptor member and (ii) a scrapper blade receiver configured to receive a scrapper blade, the scrapper blade receiver including an aperture defined therein, the cylindrical adaptor body and the first end of the second adaptor member being received in the aperture of the scrapper blade receiver.   
   
   
       11 . The tool of  claim 10 , wherein the cylindrical adaptor body of the scrapper tool includes a plurality of first elongated slots defined therein. 
   
   
       12 . The tool of  claim 11 , wherein the scrapper blade receiver includes a plurality of second elongated slots defined therein, the plurality of second elongated slots being substantially parallel to the plurality of first elongated slots when the cylindrical adaptor body is received in the aperture of the scrapper blade receiver. 
   
   
       13 . The tool of  claim 12 , wherein the second adaptor member includes a passageway defined in the first end, the passageway being in registry with the plurality of first and second elongated slots when the first end of the second adaptor member is received in the aperture of the scrapper blade receiver. 
   
   
       14 . The tool of  claim 10 , further comprising a biasing member received in the aperture of the scrapper blade receiver, the biasing member biasing the scrapper blade receiver away from the second adaptor member. 
   
   
       15 . The tool of  claim 14 , wherein the biasing member comprises a spring. 
   
   
       16 . A scrapper tool for use with a reciprocating saw, the scrapper tool comprising:
 an adaptor body having an aperture configured to receive an end of an adaptor couplable to the reciprocating saw;   a scrapper blade receiver configured to receive a scrapper blade, and   at least one biasing member positioned between the adaptor body and the scrapper blade receiver, the at least one biasing member biasing the scrapper blade receiver away from the adaptor body.   
   
   
       17 . The scrapper tool of  claim 16 , wherein the at least one biasing member comprises a first biasing member and a second biasing member, each of the first and second biasing members being positioned between the adaptor body and the scrapper blade receiver, the first and second biasing members biasing the scrapper blade receiver away from the adaptor body. 
   
   
       18 . The scrapper tool of  claim 17 , wherein the first and second biasing members comprise first and second springs. 
   
   
       19 . The scrapper tool of  claim 18 , further comprising a first bar and a second bar, the first bar being received in a first internal passageway of the first spring and the second bar being received in a second internal passageway of the second spring, each of the first and second bars being coupled to the adaptor body and scrapper blade receiver.
