These quick edit icons are very useful in fact. You can edit your Posts and all the Widgets (Gadgets) in one click...They do mess up the looks a little bit, but only for your eyes. Nobody else can see those icons...
But, if they are unnecessary to you, there's a way to remove/hide them.
REMOVE PENCIL AND SCREWDRIVER (WRENCH)To do this, you will have to go to: LAYOUT ► EDIT HTML ► and paste the code:
.quickedit{display:none;}
]]></b:skin>
</head>
<body>
...paste the code in orange ABOVE the existing code (in white)...]]></b:skin>
</head>

REMOVE PENCIL ICON (FOR EDITING POSTS)
Sign in to your blogger account, then go to: DASHBOARD ► SETTINGS ►BASIC, select "No" beside "Show Quick Editing on your Blog?".
Save Settings. And that's it.
REMOVE SCREWDRIVER ICON (FOR EDITING WIDGETS)
First, back up your template. Then go to:
DASHBOARD ► LAYOUT ► EDIT HTML ► click on the EXPAND WIDGET TEMPLATES, and find the following line in the code section (use CTRL + F for searching):
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
...you have to delete that line. Sometimes, you have to do it for every widget. For example, if you have 3 "screwdrivers", that means you have 3 widgets, and you have to delete a line for each..CHANGE THE ICON PICTURE OF PENCIL into something else:
...look here.

This happens even when I'm logged out and access my site from google thinking it;s a new start. For some reason I can't seem to get the tools to ever dissappear..or don't know what the reason is why they do dissappear- I log/sign out. ARe others able to edit my blog with what I'd doing?

Nobody's able to edit your Blog. Or access it. Unless they have password...
No worries...
Smile!
Thank you soooo much. I wish there was something I could do for you! Here is my site- if't you are the least bit interested. Thanks again!

Ok, I'm feeling really stupid. I delete that line for all my gadgets and all I keep getting is an error code. I'm concerned because this link is in my website and I'm afraid that people will be able to access the site. When I'm on my site and click the blog link, it does show up as my being signed in. Very confusing and very frustrating! I just want to write and post!!
Don't panic. NOBODY can access your site except you. And only you can see those quickedit icons.
Try from another computer (where you're not signed in to your Blogger account), and you'll see how everybody else see your Blog/site...
No worries..
i've done it on my blog...thanks
Thanks, a really useful hint for getting rid of these annoying tools - I know only I can see them, but they really get on my nerves - I'm probably the only one who reads my blog anyway!
