It's in the tool box with the left-handed spanner, Bob.

There is no blending tool. There's a pop-up of layer blending styles. Right click on a layer and the second option down on the drop-down is Blending Options.

If it's a text layer, you can choose the options for how the text appears. If it's an image layer, you choose the option for the entire layer. There is also a box in the top tool bar labeled "Mode". This is the blending mode for the layer.

There are many reasons to use blending modes for layers, but without knowing what you want to do, no better explanation can be offered.

Here's an example of one thing that can be done with layer blending modes:
