BULLY TOOLS Floor Scraper – Heavy Duty Scraper Tool with Long Fiberglass Handle for Tiles and Carpet Removal Tasks, Flat Shovel Design for Landscaping, Flooring Prep, and Surface Cleanup - 58-Inch

This is kind of a Johnny-come-lately review, but I think it worth getting the word out how very well this scraper design from Bully actually works in the field. This is one of those rare times where I feel I really got more than my money's worth. Made in USA, too.The job it was purchased for was the removal of three rooms (about 900 square feet) of asbestos-containing linoleum 8x8 tiles from a concrete floor. I rented an M-K electric tile scraping machine from Home Depot and thought I would clean up the corners and edges with the Bully tool. Where the mastic had been heavily applied, mainly in the center of the largest room, the electric scraper did help, but it also shattered the tiles into about 10 fragments per tile. On the other hand, the Bully scraper, because of its long blade length before the 30 degree up bend, did a super job of loosening the tiles without shattering them; about 7 of 8 came up intact. Even when a tile did break, it usually only broke in half. Picking up the full tiles went much quicker with less bending and stooping compared to sweeping up the broken fragments made by the machine. The hand scraped tiles tended to fall ahead of the scraper, so all I had to do was to stop every 6-8 tiles and use the scraper like a spatula and flip the stack of loose tiles into the asbestos disposal barrel. I took the M-K machine back early and finished the two remaining rooms with the Bully scraper.I had no problem with excessive or premature dulling. The makers must have used good quality tool steel for the blade and heat treated it to increase the blade's hardness. While no steel can scrape concrete all day without getting a little dull, the cutting edge stood up much better than I expected. After the job was finished, I used a 4-1/2" electric Porter-Cable grinder with a 100 grit aluminum oxide disk to restore the edge, and then only a very quick, light pass completely restored the cutting edge.

Great tool! I got it to pry up the old cracked and loosened vinyl tiles in my laundry room before having someone lay a new vinyl floor in there. This tool worked like a charm! The blade edge is sharp and beveled in such a way as to make it easy to get it under the tiles. Because of previous water damage, many of the tiles were very loose and came up easily. But even the ones that were still stuck pretty good came up without too much difficulty (and I am not a big, burly guy. I am a middle-aged woman with very little upper body strength.) Next I'm going to use it to help scrape up the old dried glue after I pull up a carpet that was glued down onto a concrete floor in my house. Then I'm going to pry up some old tiles on top of a cupboard that are all chipped and cracked.Plus, my daughter and I agreed that this tool would be a great tool to have in case a zombie apocalypse happens. Five stars!

This helped me remove my peel and stick vinyl floor from 20 years ago with ease. Very little strength required. Many of the tiles came up in one piece, it was just that easy! I thought it was going to take a couple days to get that floor up but this little tool helped me do it in a couple of hours. Very sturdy and well made. It says it is good for scraping ice as well - I'll try it out for that this winter if necessary.

works as stated. used to scrub concrete basement floor after removing glue down carpet. you will need an adhesive remover product to soften the glue then it lifts it off.

It’s awesome to have an American made tool. Just unpacking you can feel how well it’s built! Lightweight but in all the ways it should be. The angle is perfect to scrape up flooring without breaking your back! I am a fully fan of Bully Tools and will look for the brand before I buy other tools again! Customer for life!

Absolutely the best money i have spent on a tool this year. This Bully floor scraper made 15 minute job of removing old vinyl flooring (and glue!) from large room in a rental property. The leverage it gives makes all the difference. The old vinyl flooring had been well glued but this tool got it all up with no problem, even for a 63 year old woman. It was also the perfect tool to remove the quarter round trim all around the room. Even though i didn't save the trim, i could have since it is possible to slide the tool along under the trim to loosen nails and remove trim without breaking it. Highly recommend the Bully flooring scraper.

This tool is amazing in that the handle is long enough that you don't have to bend at all. It is beyond sturdy and definitely built to last, the blade easily removes debris from the concrete floor where I am using it. I am anxious to test it on the ice this winter and have no doubt I won't be disappointed. I highly recommend this tool it won't disappoint and it will last.

I recently had a water pipe burst upstairs and ruined my hardwood floors in the kitchen so i have been pulling the flooring up and needed to find a way to remove all the adhesive on the concrete that was holding the flooring down. From ready all the reviews on this tool I thought it would be perfect for this job but just did not work well at all. The blade just slides over the top of the glue no matter the angle used. I ended up using my flat blade shovel and grinded a sharp edge on it and it actually did a decent job removing the glue. The Bully floor tool may work well in other areas but not good for removing floor glue in this case.
