i don’t want to risk using a big floor scraper and chewing it up, and i’d rather have something hand-held. i have found hammer/rotary drills and chipping hammers, but i don’t want to shell out big bucks for these if they will be ineffective and completely wrong for the job.
it is extremely old, thick black adhesive that was used to glue down a linoleum floor. there is also a layer of cardboard backer board on top that needs to be scraped off before we can even get to the adhesive. it is EXTREMELY difficult to scrape off and extremely time consuming. to do this to an entire room’s floor would take weeks.

Multimaster seems a great investment and easy to use. Initial use is for hard to fit laminate flooring — casings, etc. where other power tools just do not work.

I’m laying some very old tiles, and they are at least 1″ thick, an ordinary tile cutter will never do it. I don’t mind buying a power tool but which one? (points collectors, I report all abuse)

I need to have it done in 1 day. I’ve heard there was a power tool to use, but I don’t know what it is, any ideas?
I think I’m going to use an impact drill, but the tiles are 12 X 12 on a concrete slab.

I am looking for a power tool combo pack that has a reciprocating saw, circular saw, drill / driver, etc. I also want the batteries and chargers to be interchangeable with other cordless power tools made by the same maker. Thanks for your help.

I want to set up a little workshop in my basement for doing some basic woodwork and whatnot. I’d like to be able to build shelves and cabinets, decorative items, etc.
What are some recommendations on tools and accessories that I absolutely should have?
There are so many different types of saws I’m utterly confused. Which would be the most versatile?
Thanks.
