The black thing looks like a oven rack push/ puller. At least like one that my son made for me.

I have something in white that looks just like that. I got it at Home Depot and it was labeled as a caulk remover. You can use the curved hook to pull towards you in the groove of the caulked area or the straight point to push away from you. Used it on my tub and it worked fairly well - at least it doesn't scratch the tub or tile like a razor blade does.

Ahhhhh...........thanks Pam! This one had me going. I've never done so many Google Image searches to try to find a picture of this tool-LOL. A Google search of "homax caulk remover tool" brought up a picture of this in its original packaging. Mystery solved. Now I can relax and move on with my life :-)
