Q:Height of blade? Thinking of use this to create narrow trench 6-7 inches deep for low voltage wire. Do you think it would work well for that?
by|May 29, 2019

Answer This Question

A:  Don't know the blade height. You probably need to drop by a store to check since people like RR can't think outside the box. OBVIOUSLY this could be used to create a narrow half inch wide shallow trench to drop low-volt wiring into. Whether the blade's tall enough to give you the depth you need is the question but it can obviously create a narrow/shallow trench in dirt. I like the idea. Sounds way easier than using an actual trench shovel that makes trenches much wider than you need for something like a wire run.

    A:  The surface scraper tool is made for scraping, not trenching, so, no, this is not the tool you need for trenching. RR

    A:  The blade height is approximately 4”. It might work for that as long as it was soft ground with no rocks. The blade is flexible to some degree.

    A:  4 inches is the height. It would be a lot of work to make a trench 6-7 inches deep and 14 inches wide with this floor scraper. Use a spade instead or a power trencher.

        Answer This Question

        A:  Yes, the dried dog poo shouldnt be a problem. I'd just be careful with it to not damage the tile.

        by|Oct 29, 2019

        A:  This would work great for that.

        by|Aug 27, 2019

        A:  Thank you for your inquiry. Potentially Yes, this is a very useful high performance tool designed to remove adhesive and flooring from a concrete substrate. (this tool is not specific to finished flooring such as ceramic tile) You may also want to consider pre-soaking the area with detergent and water. And wash away the pet matter area with a mid pressure water delivery system. Thank you for considering this tool for your project.

                Answer This Question

                A:  The answer to your question really depends on what is under your vinyl flooring, and what kind of adhesive was used. This tool doesnt "pull up" but can scrape flooring, especially carpet on hard floor. The price is right, give it a try. RR

                    A:  That certainly depends on how strongly they were installed in the first place. However of all the long-handled scrapers available nowadays, this one is pretty solid.

                      A:  This is not sharp enough to do this, and it would be very hard on your hands to do it with this. You may need a chipping hammer for that with a chisel.

                        A:  No, this product would be used to scrape the tiles from the sub floor if you were replacing them. For wax or buildup, you would use a cleaner/remover, and a abrasive sponge or circular floor cleaner. RR

                                A:  Maybe, but you have to be very careful not to gouge the drywall. We just had all of the popcorn ceiling removed in our house. Wherever you gouge, you will need to go back in and float. I would suggest using a wider blade hand scraper.

                                      A:  Way to much tool for the job -- simply spray the ceiling down with hot water in a garden sprayer (just a small section at a time) then scrape with a small 4/6 inch hand scraper) plan on the biggest mess you have ever seen

                                          A:  Yes just take your time so you don’t gouge the ceiling. Be sure to get it at the right angle before starting your strokes

                                          A:  Yes, this would work. be really careful when you do this. Remember, the popcorn is asbestos, and you will contaminate your house or room when you do this. You have to use a really good multi-filter mask, and cover the whole work area with plastic sheeting, dispose at the HAZMAT site in your area. A better idea, and what I do, is to use a 1 inch roller loaded with a good primer sealer , then finish with a good flat white exterior paint. That will seal the asbestos popcorn so that you wont get any fallout, and it looks good too. RR
