floor scraper

Tile removal tool

A floor scraper is a hand tool with a wide, flat blade used to remove old flooring materials, adhesive, paint, or other stubborn residues from floors.

The blade attaches to a long handle, allowing the user to work while standing: We rented a floor scraper to get up the old linoleum.

Power versions speed up large jobs.
