Pro and Flor, ever read my posts on RotoZip? It's just a tool that I'm 100% sold on, I have 2 on my truck and I don't do that much anymore. I just couldn't live without one. That's why I have 2.

Yeah I've done 1 of those jobs...the 1 and only. It had that rubber pad on the bottom. I guess it depends on what your supposed to install ..after you get that crap up. The machine looks nice...but, somehow I just don't see getting down to the concrete with it ..if thats the idea. That rubber pad stuff will kill you. To Tile the floor..you have to get every piece of that junk off.........
Just something I would not do again.

make a 2x2 box, put some dry ice in it, and slide that sucker around, 30 seconds will freeze the f out of the glue and it'l pop right off.
