Does anyone know where I can buy a smallish electric floor scraper or bully stripper as we used to call them back in the old days. I've just got a contract that includes ripping up the old, existing floorcoverings and just my luck, they've all turned out to be foam or gel backed carpets stuck down with a big trowel notch on F3. HELP
I've done that before a few times but it works out a touch expensive and I just thought it was about time I coughed up and got one to keep.
They're all over the internet and gonna set you back £500 to £800 depending on make, Brandon tool hire do them for hire not sure if you've tried there before.
Thanks for all your advice. I managed to get a Janser Flex Power Stripper 110v from Ebay for £185 and it does the job brilliantly. Looking to get hold of a cheap door trimmer next.
Its the old "if you uplift quite a lot" then its worth shelling out but if you dont but only now and again, then (hire) is the best business way to do it me thinks.Having said that i have done a fair bit of lino weld of late and i have pondered getting a Leister for myself but i can hire one for a subtenner per day so having another tool knocking about might not be so feasible.
